Ok, I ran into a big problem. I just went to change simple brake pads and now I can not get the piston to go back in. What do you think is the problem?

This pin won't move back far einoth for me to get the caliper back in place with the new pad. Problem???

Couldn't try that because it's too small.

Try using a set of channel locks, and squeeze it, if it wont move then open the bleeder screw, if it moves then chances are you have a pinched hose, if it doesn't then your caliper is fucked

Problem solved thanks to acouple members on honda-tech. You just had turn the piston clock wise(I used a flat head screw driver). Thanks everyone!

Yeah you twist back ones, its front ones you use a clamp to compress back into the caliper

i was gonna say this also. i fiqured this prob out when my dad and i tried doing my rear brakes on my 4door. had the c-clamp on that thing tight as shit. and wasn't going in. i asked my neighbour, wats the deal. his words "turn the big fucking screw"

LOl.. yeah. I was like the brake system is broken.
