Ok so right now me and my dad are trying to put new brakes on the car. The problem is that we cannot get this little circle thing on the caliper to go back so the new ones can fit. Any ideas?

I'm guessing that you're talking about the rear one.

Just Rotate the piston clockwise with a brake piston tool or needle-nose pliers.

Screw the piston in all the way and align the notches in the piston with the openings in the caliper.

Yeah... I jus did mine I bought a tool at napa... DID NOT FIT!!! So needle nose pliars did the job!!! Push in too when turning and remember first turn is the toughest I was told take off the cap of the brake thing under the hood to release pressure... I dont know if it works or not... But good luck and just turn!!!

Yeah we had the cap off the master cylinder and whatever its called. Nose pliars worked good but it was freakin taking forever! So my dad went to Autozone and borrowed the caliper tools. We did it soo fast after he got that tool.

The neighbor told me to disconnect the battery because if I didin't that the ABS would get all messed up or some ***** like that. So I did.

Hey thanks again mpcv2000, my dad was already on his way to buy a new caliper. He changed two calipers on a Taurus because he couldnt get the piston to go back. Thanks again bro!
