Using a brake caliper piston wind back tool kit. This handy tool kit has left-handed and right-handed threaded tools and drive keys that fit almost any vehicle with front or rear disc brakes. Note I actually used the wrong key in this video, I should have used the 'stepped key' marked with the number 3. That key sits into the piston and does not rotate as the piston is being pushed in. Here's a link to an updated video showing how to retract both front and rear caliper pistons: • Universal Brake Calipe...

Usually only a C-clamp pushes back the hydraulic cylinder, A L T H O U G H, on Nissan Altima, the rear disk brakes needed this screwing in motion whilst turning to push the cylindar back. I never would have guessed the secret to push back the cylinder without a good video such as this. Ran, not walked to the Harbor Freight and bought this tool and it worked.

The proper adapter to use for this type of caliper would be the #3 adapter. The #3 adapter does not spin on the caliper piston which could cause it to crack or chip the piston. It also puts less wear on the tool, the caliper and the user.

I have the exact same kit (21pz). It gets the job done nicely, but for example the N6 and N7 plate adapter are the exact same, the N3 doesnt have the holes to be atached, so i dont know how to use it. The A plate doesn't fit in the pusher.. If you are in doubt about getting the 18 or 21 just go for the 18. It doesn't worth the extra money, and anyway you will be using only 3 plates.

@howado 2 жыл бұрын

I followed this guide and after 1st caliper I realized something must be wrong, with that many adapters we should not rub against the caliper itself.. The correct adapter for hollow calipers like shown on video is visible at 1:19 just under right hand. It’s a few layers of different diameter solid circles. This stays inside caliper without spinning, while you spin 2nd adapter inside that one. Sounds maybe more complex that it is..

@derrickfrancis4 2 жыл бұрын

@mranalogman3525 2 жыл бұрын

The rear calipers sometimes have a handbrake mechanism, the pistons in them need to be screwed in. In some cars they are screwed in clockwise and in others counterclockwise. This problem does not apply to front calipers where you simply compress the piston without rotating it. You can use any tool here.

You can't just push in a rear piston on a caliper (you can on front caliper) as there is a threaded rod connected to the piston that the handbrake uses to twist the piston against the disc (mechanical and electric handbrakes). If you force the piston in, you could strip the thread etc. The piston must be turned in rather than pushed, hence the kit with all the different diameter bits with lugs on that locate in the piston to turn it.
