Any body had problems with the rear calipers freezing up? Ive bent the backing plate on the compression tool.



Please Help!

TIA

ok so spinning the piston dont do @#$%*.

I'm dead in the water.

 

Clearly you tried "threading" it "in" and no luck? Which post did you find for info? https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...ating-why.html? or https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...beginners.html? Good luck!

 

Well, I speed-read Octaneguys diy thread and missed the "push + turn" concept. My compression tool doesnt have the "twist/turn/rotate" feature.

So I found the other thread and am going to use the "c" Clamp + Pliers methodology. If this dont work Im going to sue BMW, GM and AIG.

Hey thanks!

I think I gots it now. We'll see.

all tools put away! For the sake of all the noobs I'd rename ALL rear brake threads "Twist and Shout" or at least "Twist and thou shalt not Curse thy Mother-in-Law".

Hey thanks for all the help guys! Great threads...as long as one ssslllllloooooowwwwsssss down whilst reading.
