With the SVO rear disc brakes.I tried to install new pads,i get the caliper off and try to collapse the piston in the caliper with a pair of vice grip c clamps as i always do and it wont budge!WEIRD!So i open the bleeder and try and nothing there isn't even any fluid coming out of the bleeder! So is the calipers frozen up?AND on both sides!Cause both sides do the same thing nothing!Funny tho cause when i did all bay work i removed the master cylinder and reinstalled it,i had a buddy help me bleed the brakes then and got excellent fluid and pressure out of both sides of the rear brakes!So can anyone give me some info on how the hell to put brakes on?Or at least how the hell to collapse the pistons in the calipers? Man i feel like an idiot never have any kind of problems with brakes before!Or could they have just all of a sudden froze up?And both sides at once?peace
