if you got the calipur unbolted then use a big flathead, put it above/between the pads and pry up. theres also a speical tool to put the piston back. it looks like a cube.

yes ido ihave used a c clamp and even removed the bleeder valve and it wont budge

yes it is unbolted . do u use the screw driver to pry the back side pad out?

scratch that i got the pad out now how do i know if i need a special tool? or is there a trick to pressin the piston down

does it say anything about the parking brake? i hate parking brake calipurs because of what youre going through right now.

no pretty simple actually a lot like doing the front pads which i did a couple of months ago

right on looks like a trip to the parts store to find the tool thanks for all your help. this is my first fourm and great to see it really work. just folks helpin folks. thanks!
