um, ya you can actually, i did it on my car, it doesnt sink flush right away, but if you hold a steady pressure on it for a few seconds, it will retract to be flush where it needs to be

 

Yeap.. put on some gloves and squeeze till u go blue. I had no clamps, but slowly it retracted. Ghetto style

 

or you can do it the ***** way with some channel locks[:-]

 

Thanks guys...

First time i have ever proved EMonz wrong.. whoa... monumental occasion.

 

haha make it your sig or something, savor the flavor

 

all i know is when i replaced them on my elantra i struggled to push the piston in even with a clamp it was so stuck. But if you guys said you did it with your hands i believe you. I just know ive never been able to do it.

 

you didnt prove me wrong lol....... I have done brakes a few times. and I garentee you eery car I have done them on even back to my GS eclipse it cant be done. I do however usually drive till my pads are nothingness and the pistons are fully opened and I know I am not a weak person in the slightest way. All my cars were a PITA even with the c clamps Dont know maybe you have had lower levels of brake fluid as that can make a difference. Plus what are you guys talking single piston calipers??? you know cause I have ahhhhhhhhh oh yea 4 piston calipers so that may have part to do with teh EVO

 

I did prove you wrong shut up lol

 

ehh not quite.... as I said I still have never in my life been able to do that. like I said fuilds make a differece pistons make a differens pad wears makes a difference and 99% of the time just your finger wont work

 

jeez you guys fight like your married
