Thanks! You are the bestđđŒ

Best video for this job. Actually shows how the caliper piston works and why it needs to be rotated back inwards.
-
Yesterday I couldn't push in my left rear caliper, so I bought a new caliper. Today my rear right caliper also seemed stuck. So I watched this video. Now I at least don't need to buy a new right rear caliper. Thank you for the insight!
-
thank you for sharing your insight, visual reference and alternate solutions for depressing this style of caliper piston. iâm immensely grateful.
-
I took a 1x2x6 piece of wood and 2 small fence nails to make a spanner wrench. A Texas biker trickđŒ
-
I ordered the rewind tool from Amazon through your link above. I hope you get credit for it as this was a great video and really saved me a lot of time. Txs!

Best damn video I've seen about this. Very clear & professionally done, easy to understand.
-
This is by far the best video on how to do this. Thank you!
-
The cube is new to me. Great investment for someone who doesnât need the professional kit.
-
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.
-
You made it look easy. With the brake line connected, it is way harder to hold the caliper and turn the piston back in.
-
I used a grinder spanner. Worked perfectly .
-
Gee willikers⊠I broke 2 c-clamps trying to press it in like all the other brake pistons Iâve ever done. Hahahaa I hope I didnât trash themâŠ. I finally gave up at 11pm at night after hours. Mayyyyybe I shouldnât ass uuum me⊠and just take a quick glance at a yoopertube videeyer. Thanks so much!!! I appreciate the two method thingy too. Solid b

Iâm having a heck of a time with this. I miss cars with rebuilt carburetors everything back then was fixable.
-
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.
-
This is the fifth video and it's the most helpful one thank you so much I am screaming đâ€
-

-
This is so practical and is what I'm looking for.
