Brakes problem
1999 Buick Park Avenue V8 Front Wheel Drive Automatic
----------------------------------------------------------------
I have rotated the caliper up and off the disk and removed the pads on the rear brakes. I'm now trying to push the piston in with a C-clamp and it will not budge. Am I suppose to screw the piston in with a special tool and where do I get a tool for that? Thanks.

usually you can either borrow it from the parts store or purchase one there. you need to rotate the piston clockwise and lightly push it in.
