ok, so i removed the caliper, removed the rear brake pads, now the problem is that after i installed the new brake pads, there is not enough room to fit over the rotor, the caliper is basically in the locked/engaged position, i dont have enough slack/room to fit over the rotor.

how do disengaged the caliper, free up space in the middle between both pads?

please help fast, while the car is jacked up...

thanks

 

Use a c-clamp, and compress the piston back into the caliper. Remember to remove your brake fluid cap PRIOR to trying this.

thanks, i just removed the blled valve on the caliper itself and pushed it back in.
is that ok.. do i need to do anything else.

i drove the car around and everything seems fine.
