RE: More 4kq rear brake issues



OK I just finished! Thanks to Tony Lum's suggestion, I turned the piston a 
few times, then pushed it in with a clamp, then repeated as necessary. 
Parking brake was not related.

Thanks all,

OK, turns out the hex key needed to screw my rear calipers back in is 
indeed a 12mm, the hole was just all gunked up. Now the next problem: I 
can't get the piston to go back in. Bentley says turn clockwise with firm 
pressure. I can turn it, but it won't slide in.. Any BTDT? I'm wondering if 
the parking brake is causing it not to move in? Is it worth disconnecting 
it?

Thanks for any help.
