Brake Update !
Brake Update !
Well it took 5.5 hours to get the car and down and replace the front and rear pads. The front were not all that difficult to change, the back on the other hand was a insane since I ejected the piston from the caliber
took an hour to get the piston back in, and had to bleed both back brakes to screw the piston in. Anyways it was a lesson well learned, I wanna thank Nomad, Jttoombs for all their help

Your welcome,
Just as an update Ive started having problems with my right rear brake which I replaced two weeks ago. I think I placed the inner pad in at an angle so now it rubs funny, when ever I brake from 60 mph I get a little shuddering and if I brake from 120 mph it feels like an earthquake. If I slam on the brake the car trys to puls to the left for a little bit. Im gonna take my rear right off later and check it out to see wha the problem really is.

Well when pushing the front pistons back in we just applied leverage and it went back, however for the back it just wouldn't budge so I figured that maybe if you press the brake some brake fluid will come out on the sides making it easier to move, however when brake is applied... piston ejects and newbie brake installer realizes that there's a thread on the piston and it's meant to be screwed back in.

You guys that popped your piston out, check your brake fluid often... usually when you pop the piston out, it never seals right again and every time you apply the brakes, fluid leaks out. If thats the case, you'll have to replace the caliper(s).
