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?

Well success. Not exactly the process found on the Jag forum. Their comments said the pistons on the rear calipers get turned or screwed back in, clockwise for the passenger side and counter-cc for the drivers. I turned the P side, clockwise and pressed in via C clamp. That did NOT work on that way. I turn cc-wise and the damn piston cam OUT! I turned it back in C-wise, which seemed to work until 3/4 inch to go. I added the cheapo PEP boys press for pressure and continued turning and Viola (the instrument!) piston was far enough in to complete the job. i did get a bit pf fluid leak near the end of pressing the piston in, so I'll have to check that this week.
Thanks all for the help and listening ear. now back to the 914! |
