I did a search and it seems everyone has trouble with the rear, well this time the front is giving me crap.


I went ahead and did the drivers side, used a c clamp and everything went fine. Now when I do it with the passenger side neither piston will budge.

Anything I can do or do I need another caliper?

I ran into the same situation this year (only on the driver's side).

It's far easier and better and cheaper just to buy a new caliper.The pistons are phenolic plastic (not metal) and kinda aren't reusable in my opinion. Others on this board set me on the right path.

Be wary, the parts store will want a big core charge for the caliper bracket. A breaker bar makes removing the bracket pretty easy.

Good luck.
