You made it look easy. With the brake line connected, it is way harder to hold the caliper and turn the piston back in.

Thanks for the video. I've had hell of time trying to wind them back! Only to realise here in UK my toyota auris hybrid, it winds Anti-clockwise!!! I got in a mess after pressing the brake! Realised the piston came all the way out and will not go back in,, pissed out brake fluid all over, so had to clamp the fluid caliper line, open the pipe to relief pressure, only then that the piston can go back and.. anticlockwise.

Thanks for this tip with the needle nose pliers. I didn't have these special tools and thought I was stuck, but the pliers method worked just fine.

This video answers a LOT of questions! I recently got a 2013 Chevy Volt and in the Service Manual it says to rotate the rear pistons in to retract them and I wondered why, since my previous vehicle was a 2007 Hyundai Elantra and those just went straight in. Turns out the reason is the Parking Brake: on my Elantra it used a little drum brake in the middle of the rear brake disc, complete with springs and an adjuster. The lever was a standard handbrake type you could pull up. On My Volt there's a Parking Brake button on the dashboard you pull that operates a motor behind the left rear wheel that pulls cables to set the brake (you can even 'double set' it by pulling the button twice). Those cables obviously pull the levers that turn the jackscrew to push the piston out to set the brake. While you could use the Handbrake on my Elantra to stop it in an emergency by pulling it up while holding the button down, there is no mention of using the Parking Brake on my Volt to do that in the Owner's Manual. From what I've read you would only want to do that as a measure of extreme last resort, since it would most likely lock the rear wheels up. I remember seeing those cubes at the parts store and wondering what they were for. Now I know.

Shouldn’t the groves be aligned in the same direction each time after pushing it in?

The rear caliper are handed, left right,in relation which direction you turn the piston.

I wonder if this will work if the piston is all the way out almost touching the caliper? Can the piston come out of screw ?

@screwsnutsandbolts

17 күн бұрын

Yes the piston can be pushed out of the screw if it comes out too far. If you line it up with the threads properly you can use this method to screw it back in. If it has popped out from the caliper, it may have let some air get into the system and you will need to bleed that caliper once the piston is back in place.

Hello mate. I was manually rewinding the rear piston and noticed the rubber boot got a hole. I started by putting my car in 1st gear as it has electronic brake. After rewinding both rear pistons,i pressed the brake several times to get it stiff. When i switched on the engine,got an error amber light message referring to parking manual. What have i done wrong in process? Cheers

The video literally shows screw inside the piston him turning it to retract the piston.... So, yes there is a screw inside, but remember, as he mentioned in the video, you must use great force to apply the torque necessary to retract the caliper.

? Does the car need to be reset or nah? I wonder why this design or is it bettter than the normal ones

No you shouldn't have to reset anything on the car's computer. These rear calipers are designed like this to incorporate the handbrake mechanism.

Check this video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/i3yEupqldause9Y.html

Interesting video, I never saw the inside of one of these screw pistons. My rear piston won't fully retract no matter what I do. It moves freely enough until it snags with about 1/4 inch of the piston still not retracted, and I'm not able to fit the caliper with the new pads. I have sprayed PB Blaster under the dust boot and it still won't fully retract. After seeing this vid, now I'm thinking that there is a possible issue with the screw mechanism, and not the piston itself. I don't think the brake hose is damaged because up until the piston snags, it's moving fairly easily. Any ideas? It's hard for me to believe that I need a new caliper, but I suppose it's possible. Am I missing something here? Also, my E-brake needs tightening, could that possibly impact the caliper piston? The other rear piston retracted with no issues, so I'm thinking the E-brake is not the issue either. Any help is appreciated...Thanks everybody.

You can not use a needle nose to screw it in. The piston needs pressure against it to push/screw it back in while it rotates clockwise. On the bench yes with oil pressure behind it, NO

Ok but what about if the damn piston is on your rotor huh how you supposed to decompress that shit

Unfortunately it’s never that easy. Why didn’t you show how to put the cylinder back in. What if your caliper tool doesn’t fit in because the cylinder is out all the way? Do you return the stupid tool you bought after watching a clip like this and think “oh I can do this, I’ll buy that caliper tool”” come to find out that every piece of the break is rusted to shit and you wanna blow this stupid car up and go buy another one, but no because you’re a poor Basterd and you don’t have the money.

The tool kit sold on Amazon for 19-35$ is probably the best safe economy tools for this job Do not forget that doing this on the vehicle 🚗 and with corrosion and hydraulic fluid in the system is not that easy as in the video Defenetely not needle nose pliers the force required might slip the pliers into the boot or in the hand causing injury
