help puting in new pads

thanks |
RE: help puting in new pads
Do you have the right tool to depress the piston? It looks like a back of a brake pad with a bolt going thru it. If not, Get some big channel locks and try and press back the piston by squezing it, Also take off your brake fluid cap to relieve some pressure. You might have some spilling but just clean that up and you will be alright.
EDIT - Ok im not sure if the SN95s or newer Mustangs have normal pistons or not, some cars have a type that you have to turn while pushing in. Im not quite sure so someone correct me? Just try what I told you and lemme kno. |

I just get a large C clamp around the rotor
and start slowly squeezing untill the piston is fully depressed. Make sure you keep an eye on the fluid resoivoir as it will overflow. |

Make sure that it does not scew in, my sister had a car that the pistons screwed in, others have to be pressed back in with a block of wood and a large C-clamp, dont force anything.

I can add that the '95s push strait in...
