No wonder I couldn't get the piston in. I was trying to turn it with the lil cube tool and ratchet.
You do not need to remove the caliper BRACKET to replace the rotors.
And, you need a special tool to compress those rear pistons, like Nissans in the rear. Fronts are fine with a c-clamp, but not the rears.
What size pliers you got?
Doing a 1998 Jetta rear brakes (Thanks alot 1AAuto for NOT doing a rear brake video for the MK3 era. Had to piece it together from amateur videos). The rear brake piston seems the same. But I cannot turn it at all. I am using exact same pliers you are using. Is my piston malfunctioning??
Reat bracket 50ft/lb
Whats the torque on those last two 13mm bolts??
Do the rotors self calibrate afterwards?
Do those springs on the pads suppose to press against the caliper or through the opening? @1aauto
That screw holding the rotor in place sure makes it easier to put the wheels on.
Fantastic video, thanks guys!
Thanks for the amazing video. One problem though. The c-clamp has no use here, a special part is required to pull back the piston to get the caliper back on, the screws that hold on to the rotor require Allen wrenches, there’s nothing about loosening the brake fluid lid. This video almost got me stranded.
Missing torque spec for the 13mm
Do u have to twist the piston or can u just use a c clamp to push it in ??????
If you are like me and you can't get those stubborn caliper mounting bolts off (not even an air powered impact will work) just know that you don't actually need to take off that bracket. The caliper should squeeze out and back in just fine without taking it off.
You could use the proper brake caliper tool and do it the right way also
Please never use a pliers on a piston! Absolute terrible habbit and maybe this particular one wont shatter but if applying this method on the wrong one and you'll get to expierence a whole new tutorial that people probably will attempt who shouldnt
Drill the screw head off if needed since it is not required after installation. Why is the screw there in the first place? Of course you are required to put a new screw back in.
After it screws in, does braking power unscrew it the other way or is it some type slip action that returns pressure?
