    I just changed my brake pads. Rear caliper pistons aren't moving.Any tips ? Thinking of bleeding hopefully not defective 🙏

      You might have cocked the piston in the caliper. Take it apart again and look at it closely and use your screwdriver again to press around making sure its not stuck from being cocked. Hopefully you understand. That’s if it was working before you took it apart.

      Same thing with me. my piston won’t go back into place. it was out to far and I tried pushing it back in, no budge. instead it came out and brake fluid went everywhere. how do i fix?

    Why remove the caliper? Center pin and done!

      For cleaning, ease of access to clean the pistons and in pushing the pistons back.
      We're being thorough here to ensure the caliper lasts longer. 5mins extra work for longer caliper life.

    Like everyone else in this thread I pumped the brake too many times while the pads weren't in and now I have to bleed. You should have put a disclaimer at that part. Video is trash man take this down.

    Ya you should remove the video or put a disclaimer. Causing people money and pain in the ass
