Saturn! A different kind of car.
Yeah, My daughter has one of these korean cars assembled by rednecks in
this country too.
Don't try to replace the starter brushes either. Just buy a whole
starter.
On the front calipers, remove the master cyl fluid cap, press back the
caliper pistons with a "C" clamp.
This will NOT work on the rear calipers. (A good ole "different" kind of
car)
On the rears, use a needle nose pliers or similar device to rotate the
piston clockwise to the bottom of the bore. Ending with the cut outs in
a verticle line.
Watch the 2 "different" size lock pins, don't mix them up.
Good luck
