My brake piston will not go back in. I forced so hard that the special tool handle bent. I need to atleast put it back so I can take it to a mechanic. A little help guys
If you managed to push the piston out of the cylinder then it might be misaligned.Usually helps if you screw it into the cylinder, helps seat the piston in
>>28199628Is that one of those weird screwing style pistons that use with parking brakes?it should still fit back in.likely will need to bleed the brakes after.
>>28199628What car is it? It might be one of those pistons where you have to rotate and and push it in at the same time which either needs you to struggle a lot with someone that'll give you a hand or you need to get a piston windback kit. That's the case with my Mustang
>>28199628Some brake pistons screw inDid you EVEN read the manual?
>>28199628Are you SURE the clamp isn't cockeyed? If it is, it can bind up the piston. If not, loosen the bleeder and see if the piston goes in. That isn't a fix, but you'll be able to reassemble. Might have a worn-out rubber line, that's acting like a check-valve.
Sneed nigger
>>28199628As everyone else said, rear brake cylinders usually need to be rotated as they go back in.Your calipers look a little too new for this, but you are likely fucked and need a new caliper. Even if you managed to push it back in, it will just lock up and not retract the first time you use it.Get a new caliper. You will need to bleed the whole system after. You are about to be out ~200 if that's a Honda, which is what it looks like.
Buy new caliper it is seized.
>>28199628maybe its left hand thread? i think my old 09 accord was this way.
>>28199628The meat on those brake pads are not even. Isnt that a problem?
>>28199628Rear calipers have to be screwed in, little wrenchlet
>>28199707>Might have a worn-out rubber line, that's acting like a check-valve.You have no tools.
OP here. Sprayed some WD40 on that shit. It unlocked. Apparently I'm gonna need a new one like yesterday.
>>28200267bread on manual
>>28200267Don't lie to us OP, you finally stopped pressing on it and actually screwed the thing in didn't you?
>>28199628>annihilating the self adjusting parking brake because you didn't check what the correct procedure isgood one lol
>>28200309READING SERVICE MANUALS IS HARD OKAYSTOP MAKING FUN OF ME
>>28199628Just zip tie it up somewhere. You have 3 other brakes.
>>28200267you have no tools.
>>28199667This, most German cars have them, as do all chargers, challengers, 300s, etc without Brembos.
>>28200309I checked the correct procedure but I cant unscrew the upper bolt..>>28200287You can see the pins of the tool I use on the uper part of your own circle. I knew how to use it. I'm no brainlet, no sir
>>28199628Take the cap off the fluid reservoir. If it still won't budge, open the bleeder on the caliper. You might have crimped a brake line, effectively sealing the pistons in place.
>>28200085The lines wear out internally, pinch shut and hold pressure like a check-valve, idiot. Maybe work on a car, instead of a Huffy.
>>28201392>The lines wear out internally, pinch shut and hold pressure like a check-valveYou have never touched a wrench in your entire life.
>>28199628replace calipers
>>28201623Wrenchlet
