This video helped me tonight. I was having trouble compressing the piston, and the seal was already twisting. I did what you said and got it worked out. Thanks! (2007 Ford Fusion)
This is the ticket. Push and turn. I used a clamp to push and pliers to turn. The clipper has groves in it so you can get it with something. Lube the boot.
And I have a 2008 ford fusion I’m doing the rear breaks I tried for hours with the piston tool from AutoZone but I still can’t get it to be fully compressed because of the twisting rubber
Man I did the front with no problem the real caliper is kicking my rear with my hillbilly back yard fixit all tools, I just paid off my Snap on bill Im not trying to have a chain on my ankle again 😂

Thanks, bro. Figured it was simple, but showing me the trick is best.
Glad u liked it
Good looking out. I used a spanner pin wrench after watching you.
Good stuff!
Where did you get that caliper twist tool?? Thats a proper, heavy one!
PS Why not use silicone spray instead ow WD40?
Snap on but u can get it from amazon
My dusiom have the electronic E brake and can only compress so far. What do I do to get it to slip over the pads?
What year make model
I’m having trouble pushing it down because of the rubber can i untwist it back and start again?
And I have a 2008 ford fusion I’m doing the rear breaks I tried for hours with the piston tool from AutoZone but I still can’t get it to be fully compressed because of the twisting rubber
Only the rubber u can undue use sum pool to let the rubber ease up and spin
@@RBTheMechanicsome pool ?
