i change the front rotor brakes fine, on my mustang v6 150000 miles on it. I have taken the brake base off the rotor in the back wheels but i can't get the cylinder, that pushes the brake pads together as the pads wear down to reset back. Is there something i'm doing wrong or have not done yet????

Hi there,

These pistons must be rotated clockwise to re install in the caliper , there is a special tool for this job.
