hey. i have aproblem with the rear brakes on a kj laser. changing the rear pads, i cant seem to push the piston back into the caliper to accept the new pads. have tryed doing it with a g-clamp and piston compress tool with the bleed nipple in and out and nether does anything.
and tryed with the handbrake cable off. its not a twist caliper, so it doesnt screw in. im stumped! i need it done fast, because its my girlfriends car, and it has a brake line clamp on it now so i want it done asap for her saftey. thanks! |

There is a bolt on the back of the caliper, remove it and you will find a hex that needs to be turned with an allen key - this will retract the piston as it is turned.

worked a treat. still had to push the piston back once the hex was turned, but it slid back no worries.
thanks for that!
