[s-cars] Urgent - Caliper retraction

[Sean Douglas]

You need to rotate the cylinder as push in at the same time. There is a
special tools used for this and it engages in the 2 little "V" slots in
the cylinder. A universal tool can be bought at a local parts store, in
a pinch you can use needle nose pliers spread open to turn the cylinder
while using a c-clamp to push it in although I don't recommend this.

If the calipers are original and you are in the snow belt, it will not
be easy to rotate the cylinder.
