The disc removal too from an angle grinder often fits well ;-)
I didnt know you had to unwind the piston.
I thaught my piston had seized, and was hammering it back!
the specialty tool doesn’t fit some cars like Ford Taurus, tool was too
small to catch both notches so I wasted 13 bucks.

I bought that tool when I was doing my daughter’s brakes. I found I could
do the twist and plunge easier with a pair of needle nose pliers.
has nobody noticed this guy has a video from exact same car and he turns it
the opposite way then in this video, this one is wrong as other people are
also saying, its CLOCKWISE
thanks for the vid dude but on a g6 you turn clockwise
Thanks a lot. You just saved me $129!
I respect trade people who knows their job and can explain it correctly
without any misterious sides attached, thank you for this video I’m sure
will help many of us the precedure and how to do it and planty of
information provided, thank you again with my all good wishes..
I tried pushing in my pistons with circlip pliers – no chance! Needed a
special tool for around £30 (like a corkscrew), still hard, even with
reservoir cap removed. Car: Bora
my car looks completely different. I have a /93 Toyota Corolla.
They put the mechanical parking brake on there so you have a brake of some
sort. Not because it hydraulic.
Thank you! Great video!
man…. i would rather change that out and put different brake Caliper, i
had one that just didn’t want to turn. that cub tool is a problem waiting
to happen. The worst that Cadillac came up with. well GM anyway. everything
is design for you to have to take it to the dealer.
thanks
Awesome you just saved me $300…there should be more videos like this on
youtube… It’s guys like you who help us from getting ripped off by shady
mechanics!
They also have a tool that they will “loan” you at AutoZone for $60 deposit.
Awesome, I was stuck at this step, tyvm.

Thanks for this video. It helped us to find an alternate way to screw the
caliper back on the rear of my 06 Grand Prix.
Well done. Good info and video.
Great instructional video! Saved me a lot of time!
Wasted a lot of time looking for a Nissan Maxima rear caliper retract
video. This one tells me all i needed to know, without the bull of the
other videos in you tube. great job!
