Anthony @ DIYautotech taking you through a very simple procedure on how to compress rear brake caliper pistons.


I get hundreds of questions a month about why a vehicles caliper piston will not retract when being compressed by a C-Clamp. The subscriber in question will always state "the front was fine but the back wont budge"

Here's why!
Watch the video and see for yourself why it is crucial to have extra tools laying around. I do OWN the correct tool for this job, but wanted to show the every day DIYer how he/she can perform this job at home without the use of said "correct" tools.

This video is made with the Do-It-Yourselfer in mind, the guy/girl who wants to work on their vehicles at home. I am a California licensed and certified automotive technician, and these are some of the methods I use to install and remove various parts at home, including diagnostic testing to find these problematic areas.

Disclaimer: All demonstrations and theory are based solely on my experience and learned discipline as an automotive technician, and are to be used as educational purposes only. If you are unsure of, or in doubt of your abilities to perform such a task on your vehicle, seek a higher level of care threw an established auto repair or maintenance shop. Anthony Sardegna and all affiliates of DIYautotech Automotive Diagnosis and Repair are not liable for any damages caused by work performed by you or any else on your vehicle.
