hi guys,
need some help... i started changing the rear brake pads on my 04 LR zetec but i ran into a spot of trouble. the problem is retracting the caliper piston. i'm under the impression that i need to turn it like a screw to push it back in but i cant get it to budge. i also tried using a clamp to push it back in, like on the front calipers but that didnt work either and i didnt want to force it. if it helps, the end of the piston had a maltese cross kind of shape sticking out. the reason i thought it might have been a clamp/push type is because the end of the piston doesnt seem to rotate. the wear on the brake pad backing plate showed that the cross shape on the piston stayed still and simply pushed. this was confirmed when i manually moved the handbrake. at any rate, i'm stumped. anyone done this before? i'd really appreciate the help. cheers, adrian |
