Ok, so i went to change my rear brake pads today. So, after I took out some of the brake fluid, i took off the rear calipers. But I could not get the pads out. Theres like absolutely no way to get them out. So I decided not to **** anything up and put it back on. I could not get the caliper open far enough where the space between the pads was big enough to fit the rotor between them. So now Im ****ed cuz I cant get my caliper back on. Anyone got any tips or suggestions. THANKS!

Please be more specific when you title a thread. "Help" will not get your question answered......
I last replaced my rear pads a few years back so my memory is vague. There should be a manual adjustment gear in the back of the caliper (next to the brake line). Turn it counterclockwise and that should solve your problem.-------------------------

hahah, i didnt know about that, and found it on a miata site. I did that to the right rear brake, got it all solved and fixed. Now the left rear, I turned the allen screw to back the piston into the caliper, and I removed the lower caliper bolt but I cant seem to open the caliper up. Any ideas on that?Eat ****.Comment
