1987 Acura Legend
----------------------------------------------------------------
I have an 1987 acura legend that i am trying to replace the rear brake pads on but I can't get the piston in the caliper to open. When I move the parking brake the piston moves slightly. Is there something I need to do so the piston will move when I put a c-clamp on to open it? Thanks

Hi lostone1960,

A G-clamp would not work.

You need to twist/turn the piston clockwise with a little pressure to get it in.
