Greetings,

Ahh... we learn from our mistakes, right?

While changing my rear brake pads, "someone" stepped on the brake pedal. :) I now have a piston stuck in the out position and am unable to get it back in. I've tried applying pressure directly to the piston via a clamp to no avail. I could use some help here guys...

thanks!
george

george,
Try opening the bleeder valve to realease the pressure, just re-bleed the brake after you put the it back together.
