I was changing my pads today and I had alitlle problem with my rear breakes, to be exact i was not able to remove the upper bolt which holds the pads, it looks like its inside some kind of tube and i was not able either to remove it or get to it, if anyone have done it before plese help, if not then think with me.
I'm having a hard time identifying that general area. As far as I can remember there are 3 13mm hex bolts that hold the caliper in place. That sorta looks like the caliper piston, however you must use a special tool to reset the piston. DO NOT use a C-clamp, you need the caliper piston tool. $17 CDN at Canadian Tire.
Its a cube shaped tool, goes at the end of a square head tool (straight ratchet tool), it has 8 different piston caliper options, find the one that fits and slowly turn the piston back into its reseat position...can be a PITA
first, you dont need the cube
i bought the cube, and it didn't match up, i cant remember what i used though....screwdriver maybe? i had somthing that could fit in the slot (rear calipers TURN in, not push in)
you only need to remove one of the bolts, take the 1 out, wrestle with it, and it will pivot enough to change out the rear pads
