vmax rear brake pads

Recommended Posts

ok so i just did the front, now im on the rear...the pistons wont retract into the caliper like the front do...

are they ratcheting rear like on cars? if so, how do i twist them in? the service manual doesnt mention removal of the caliper or rotor, so theres no space for any special tool...

someone told me that it should be a press in like the front, so that got me thinking maybe its seized up?

BUT...if it was seized up, wouldnt it not work properly? i could stop with the rear and then let off and it would start rolling again...it worked fine, just had low pads...

i didnt wanna use too much force because i dont want to bend the rotor by prying against it, but i dont imagine it should take much to push in a push-in piston....it never has on anything ive worked on...

help? ive done plenty of brakes and this thing has me stumped...
