Nissan Repair: brakes, rear caliper, nissan maxima


Question
i have a 98 nissan maxima. im doing a break change and i cant get the right rear caliper to compress to get it back on. whatshould i do?

Answer
Ah, you have to screw it in like Lincoln and Cadillacs! They sell the tool at any auto parts store. It fits on your 3/8 socket. You'll need a 8" extension. Now, I told you the right way, here is the wrong way. Use a pair of channel locks to spin the piston down into the caliper. BE CAREFUL not to rip dust cover!
