Searched and couldn't nail exactly the help I was looking for. So figured I would ask in a new thread.
My rear brakes I let the pads wear waaaay to far. Well, I've only driven the car a few hundred miles and I thought they had more meat on the pads. Nope. Long story short, both pistons on the outer sides pulled in via the adjuster just fine but both inner appear to have gone past the threads. I can't seem to get them to catch back onto the adjuster. Anyone have any tricks? |

Use a tool to push the pistons back into the bore; there are special tools to do this job; alternatively use a C-clamp. While using this tool, turn the adjuster to engage the threads.
