Rear Brake Nightmare :BangHead:

Well changing the rear brakes took a whole day. I started the day by believing it was going to be a typical brake change. Remove pads and rotors. Turn rotors, push caliper piston back in, and replace pads. To my surprise the piston can not be pushed back. I went back to the auto parts store and luckily they have a tool to screw the piston back in. Well what should of took me half a day, since the shop takes forever to turn the rotors. It took me a whole day because the tool I got was not aligning to the grooves, (people dont take care of borrowed tools, what a shame nono)  Well at least I got new pads and can stop on a dime again.  toothy10
