I just wanted to change my rear pads, that was like 5 hours ago and now im in my kitchen with the caliper on my table. First problem was that stupid inside brake adjuster cover. Now that I have that off I can't get the inside piston to go all the way back inside the caliper so I can put the new pad in. Whats stopping it from goiing in. I followed the directions from the pelican parts section by the way.

Okay, it looks like you can just reassemble without further disassembly.
Start by reinserting the circlip, but make sure the hole in the part below is exposed so that the spring can be reinserted. Place the spring over the post with the tail end down. Angle the tail into the hole between the ends of the circlip. Tension the spring, and fit the tang into the hole in the side of the post. The hole should be slightly offset compared with the hole in the horizontal surface below. Clean the bore as best you can, but do not damage the rubber seal ring inside. Clean and lube the piston before reinstalling. |
