[Shotimes] HELP! rear brake pad replacement issues (piston)

[Dave Kegel]

If you're in a real jam you can use vise grips.  You can grab the end of the
piston and rotate it while you push it in.  Open the bleeder screw first.

Subject: [Shotimes] HELP! rear brake pad replacement issues (piston)


help! I'm stuck! The rear pads have finally worn down to metal and are 
making a horrible noise. I need to replace the pads but I can't get the 
pistons to seat for the life of me. I'm reading the ford manual and it 
says I need a piston rotating tool to rotate the piston back into its 
slot, but I don't have it and I don't know who does! It's really 
important that I get this done tonight... :( anybody know anything else 
I can do? it seems really stupid to engineer the rear pistons like that...
