How in the HELL do you get the pistons pushed back in the caliper??
I got everything all dis-assembled, got the new rotors on, everything is going swimmingly...
I opted not to do the fronts only because the fronts looked fine (were good pads, Brembos) and I didn't have the new pins/clips etc (not a big deal). When I got to the rear, they were more worn, so I figured I'd do them while I had it all apart...
Get the old pads out and following numerous tutorials about using a wood block or metal rod to push the pistons back in, they aren't moving at all. I didn't want to rip any seals, but I was pushing pretty hard and they weren't moving at all...
I read one tutorial that said something about opening the bleeder valve, but I REALLY didn't want to have to bleed the brakes and all that if I didn't have to. My pedal feel is great and I don't want to disrupt the harmony
I read something about a tool that can be used for this ( a "pad spacer") but haven't gone to the FLAPS to find one yet. Do they work?
What's the trick here?
