Rear Calipers

[rwurst918]

I changed my rear calipers on my ls three days ago. I guess I am an idiot and didnt need to because I did not turn and push the calipers ( Is used a c-clamp to try to get them lose and it did not work). I have two free calipers. They are used and I do not know if they do work or not. They worked when i had them on three days ago. I replaced the calipers because I could not fit the brake pads in them. PM me if anyone wants them.

you cant use a c clamp for your rear calipers you have to use a rear caliper tool, the c clamp wont move it because the rear's cannot be pushed back they need to be turned counter clockwise and then you can move the piston back.

i guess if you got nothing better to do than take all day to do a brake job


MTV = My Time is Valuable, i'd rather just pay the $20 bucks for the brake tool kit and just pop them in in just a minute or two

I think the OP is aware of that now. Hence the line

While changing the pads he could not get the calipers to retract so he replaced them too. His OEM's are available if anyone needs rear calipers.

well actually it was night since i got off early from work so i started at like 8 lol, but i didn't know i had to do that for the rear calipers(neither has any one in my family, go figure....) so we tried compressing them but it didn't seem right, so i came on here and found out the screwed back into place, so i actually couldn't go to a store to buy the since it was like 10 by the time we where done with my dad's brakes

I played hell trying to figure mine out. I seriously thought they were seized up. eventually i gave up and bought the new calipers for 135 shipped from carstuff.com. no core charge and all hardware came with them. I found out they sent me the mounting bracket with it too. there had to be a mistake. it is impossible to get these calipers for that price. took me twenty minutes each side and then i bled them. they work perfect.
