    rear brake piston stuck

    I tried doing the rear brakes last week, whats the deal, i know the rear brakes sometimes need to be screwed in but the pistons dont have the notches to screw them in is there another method for doing this?? the pistons wont collapse i used channel locks, then C clamp, then C clamp and twist with channel locks, idk what the deal is, it should be easier than this, what am i over looking

    thers a 14mm bolt on the back of the caliper, behind that is an allen key that is turned to adjust the piston

              I learned that you can rebuild a transmission and not get a smudge of oil on you.
