zakeri88 Posted December 7, 2014 Posted December 7, 2014 (edited) Hi All, I was installing some new rear brake and rotors to the Z and don't ask me how it happened but one of the pistons in the calliper popped out! How do I get it back in without damaging the caliper? I tried pressing it back in but the piston seal isn't seated properly. Anyone got an ideas? Thanks Edited December 7, 2014 by zakeri88 Quote

ZMANALEX Posted December 7, 2014 Posted December 7, 2014 The piston will simply press back in using finger pressure only, however it has to be 100% square. It is very easy but there is a knack. Alex. 2 Quote

Vlad Posted December 7, 2014 Posted December 7, 2014 (edited) Did u leave pads out and pressed brake pedal few times? I did that few months ago with no disc or pads inside the caliper lol As Alex said - it pushes in, just make sure it goes in evenly! Use a bit of brake fluid to lubricate it. Check seals while you at it... I bought a new set of seals from Clark Motorsport and replaced then while I was at it Edited December 7, 2014 by Vlad 1 Quote
zakeri88 Posted December 8, 2014 Author Posted December 8, 2014 Haha yes that's pretty much what I did Quote
coyoteboy Posted December 14, 2014 Posted December 14, 2014 Key to this, I've found, is lube up the piston, insert nice and straight and twist as it goes in. Quote
