I have searched and I can't get an answer. I am in the middle of changing rear pads on a 2003 GT. How do I get the calipers back on. Does it take a special tool, to get the cylinder back in, or can I just use a c-clamp. DO i need to open the bleeder valve for anything? Thanks

You have to turn the pistons back in. You can't just push them in like on the front calipers. Get an adjustable wrench.

screw them in

you can get the tool you need at Blueovalindustries.com to turn piston into caliper

I looked on that website, Blueoval thing. I couldn't find it. Does anyone have a pic of what the tool looks like. The guys at autozone here are dumb, and have no idea what anything is. Thanks

Yeah, thanks. I just tried those, and I couldn't budge them. Do i just grip at the top of the piston and turn?

I tired pliers and all that crap and couldn't get it to work either. You could go to the parts house and look for the little stupid cube and try that (didnt work for me).:
I ended up haveing to borrow a professional set from a mechanic buddy:

I loosened the bleeder valve turn em with it lose it helps if your not already. I used the trusty channel locks. works the best.
