Working on K's 02 Jag S-type. Front brakes were easy to do. But on the rears I can't get the puck on the caliper to return -i.e make room for the new pads. Any hints? i've tried using a huge C-clamp, and a cheep compress tool from PEP Boys. Neither moves the caliper puck. The parking brake is off. How do i get the darned thing to move?

Thanks Cap'n. By now I've got the passenger side done. I turned the piston clockwise and then pressed it in witht the C-clamp. That's' not exactly as the Jag forums discribed, sure hope that didn't screw up anything. I've been wrestling with the drivers side with no luck. bending the c clamp too. The piston does turn. i'll go try CC-wise and see where that gets me.
