Are you saying your pushing the piston in instead of turning it?
I've been driving it like that for almost 6 months now!GSRCRXsi said:you saying you pushed it straight in without turning it? was it hard to do that?
but the same thing happened on my integra when i replaced the brakes. i replaced the rotors and pads in the rear, and the calipers and pads in the front. bled the brakes, hopped in and the brakes worked fine but the ebrake didnt. i was thinking i had to adjust the cable, but i couldnt figure out why. i drove it around for a few miles and it just came back. i think it was because i had compressed the piston far enough back that the pads werent snug on the rotor, so when i pulled the ebrake it tightened them but not enough to stop the rotor.
so try driving around a little bit to get the caliper/pads and rotor set so you can get everything to have tighter tolerances.
wow, lol. then its definitely not that. maybe check the ebrake cables and make sure they arent snapped, but if that proves to not be it then theres really nothing else to do but replace the caliper(s)Lumpy53 said:I've been driving it like that for almost 6 months now!
Got a pic of it? Is it for turning the piston on the caliper?ollie said:There is a special service tool just for rear calipers.
I do believe that mine is from snap-on.
Man I gotta get in more often. I cant believe I missed this one.
I disagree.GSRCRXsi said:buying a special tool for that would be the biggest waste of money ever. hell, even the HELMS says to just use pliers. personally i use wire strippers![]()
