Rear Brake Caliper Piston Rewind - With and Without Special Tools

Поделиться
HTML-код
  • Опубликовано: 28 сен 2023
  • Rear brake caliper piston rewind methods. This is a standard single piston rear caliper, as found on most vehicles with rear disc brakes. The hand brake cable connects to the spring loaded lever at the top of the caliper, which compresses the piston via a jackscrew. In order to rewind the piston, you need to rotate the piston (usually clockwise) as you push it into the caliper. In this video I demonstrate three different methods of resetting a rear brake caliper piston with special tools and without. Thanks for watching. Please comment, like and subscribe.

    I've had hell of time trying to wind them back! Only to realise here in UK my toyota auris hybrid, it winds Anti-clockwise!!!
    I got in a mess after pressing the brake! Realised the piston came all the way out and will not go back in,, pissed out brake fluid all over, so had to clamp the fluid caliper line, open the pipe to relief pressure, only then that the piston can go back and.. anticlockwise.

  • @fixman88

    This video answers a LOT of questions! I recently got a 2013 Chevy Volt and in the Service Manual it says to rotate the rear pistons in to retract them and I wondered why, since my previous vehicle was a 2007 Hyundai Elantra and those just went straight in. Turns out the reason is the Parking Brake: on my Elantra it used a little drum brake in the middle of the rear brake disc, complete with springs and an adjuster. The lever was a standard handbrake type you could pull up.
    On My Volt there's a Parking Brake button on the dashboard you pull that operates a motor behind the left rear wheel that pulls cables to set the brake (you can even 'double set' it by pulling the button twice). Those cables obviously pull the levers that turn the jackscrew to push the piston out to set the brake.
    While you could use the Handbrake on my Elantra to stop it in an emergency by pulling it up while holding the button down, there is no mention of using the Parking Brake on my Volt to do that in the Owner's Manual. From what I've read you would only want to do that as a measure of extreme last resort, since it would most likely lock the rear wheels up.
    I remember seeing those cubes at the parts store and wondering what they were for. Now I know.

    when i had removed the caliper (electronic parking break) I got distracted and turned on the ignition which fully released the calliper piston automatically, so i was unable to manually twist the bolt inside the motor horsing to get it to retract again.
    As bolt was just spinning.

    I wonder if this will work if the piston is all the way out almost touching the caliper? Can the piston come out of screw ?

    • @screwsnutsandbolts
      @screwsnutsandbolts  18 дней назад

      Yes the piston can be pushed out of the screw if it comes out too far. If you line it up with the threads properly you can use this method to screw it back in. If it has popped out from the caliper, it may have let some air get into the system and you will need to bleed that caliper once the piston is back in place.

    @094340 2 месяца назад

    Interesting video, I never saw the inside of one of these screw pistons.
    My rear piston won't fully retract no matter what I do. It moves freely enough until it snags with about 1/4 inch of the piston still not retracted, and I'm not able to fit the caliper with the new pads. I have sprayed PB Blaster under the dust boot and it still won't fully retract. After seeing this vid, now I'm thinking that there is a possible issue with the screw mechanism, and not the piston itself. I don't think the brake hose is damaged because up until the piston snags, it's moving fairly easily. Any ideas? It's hard for me to believe that I need a new caliper, but I suppose it's possible. Am I missing something here? Also, my E-brake needs tightening, could that possibly impact the caliper piston? The other rear piston retracted with no issues, so I'm thinking the E-brake is not the issue either.
    Any help is appreciated...Thanks everybody.

Do you return the stupid tool you bought after watching a clip like this and think “oh I can do this, I’ll buy that caliper tool”” come to find out that every piece of the break is rusted to shit and you wanna blow this stupid car up and go buy another one, but no because you’re a poor Basterd and you don’t have the money.
