Brake Pad DIY
#1
Brake job
I am trying to replace the back brake pads on my 2000 Accord and I am having a problem getting thee piston pushed back into the caliper. I have loosened the bleeder valve and tried removing the hose bolt and I still cannot get it pushed back with moderate force. Is there some trick to this? I have never had this problem before with other vehicles.

It seems that there is somewhat of an engineering problem at Honda.

Usually the back brake caliper pistons must be rotated to turn them back in. They make a special tool to do it with. Otherwise, carefully use a channel locks to turn it back in.
