Fixed her today!!!! Just needed to loosen this nut on the back of the calipter housing to let out some pressure for the piston to go in...went right in after that. Saved $250

maybe he did mean rotor...either way i replaced the rotor. the service writer said that removing the bolt would relieve some pressure and the piston should go back in then. when i used a c-clamp it would only push the piston in about half way then it just wouldn't budge??

Yea the brake man said my wheel was a lil warped and that's why the brakes wore out so quick. I called the dealership and a service writer told me to take off the bolt behind the piston to let some fluid out and that it would probably go in after that...I hope so, this thing is straight jammed!

Ok so today i borrowed a c-clamp from my neighbor and tried using it to compress the piston but the it would not budge. The piston will only go about half way back in then just seize up. I'm stumped... Pleaaase help me! Josh

Yea I put 50k on the Jeep so far...lots of driving haha. Anyways started the repair and just bought two new rotors...got em on. I just need to get a c-clamp to push back the piston on the master cylinder and i'll be in there!!! It's so cool to do work yourself and save money on repairs!

I took my jeep in to have the rear brakes looked at since they were making noise when driving and even worse when stopping. The brake man told me my rear right rotor was getting torn up and needed to be replaced. I know they usually try and tell people this alot. Are there any DIY articles...
