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? |

I have to ask... you are turning them in the opposite direction from the fronts right? From your note (CCW) it seems like you have it right.
If you want to leave them mounted, you can stick a fairly large screwdriver between the rotor and the piston to apply a "small" amount of force on the piston while cranking it in. That oughta do it. |
