Use a big C-Clamp and maybe a block of wood to push the piston back into the caliper. Keep an eye on your fluid level, and don't forget to pump the brakes a few times to reset the piston when you start the car back up. Otherwise nothing will happen when you try to stop that first time. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />


This is what I do also. I use a big C clamp & a big flat metal plate to push it back in. IIRC the C clamp has something like an 8" opening. This way you apply even pressure across the entire piston.

You also have to be careful that the rubber dust protector folds up properly when the piston recedes. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
