hello,

sorry, this is not for a subaru.

is anyone that lives near san ramon/dublin area that can help me with my rear brakes on my 93 honda accord beater car?

i got the caliper piston in its place but i am unable to put the caliper and the new brake pads to fit everything together.

thanks.

 

For the rear you need to screw in the caliper piston, NOT compress it.

take a large flat head and screw it in clockwise until it stops, don't use excessive force.

 

thanks for the info.

i was able to twist the caliper pistons back in. so the pads should fit right in. but after messing with it for two hours, i still wasn't able to put the calipers and pads together on the rotor. almost as though the pads are too big.

the passenger rear side is done.......

 

you prob just need to compress it more. You uncapped the brake fluid resovoir right?

 

i got one of those caliper kits from harbor freight and i think i compressed it to the max already.

if it's not the caliper piston causing the problem, what else can it be?

 

i'll try again tomorrow. thanks for the input.

 

did you compress it or screw it in?

 

i screwed it in with a brake caliper kit. the piston has a cross type shape and it cannot be compressed. tried again this morning but the caliper still doesn't clear the new pads.......
