Car Forum / Nissan / Nissan Altima / April 20051993 altima rear brakes
I am replacing the brake pads on all four wheels. The front was easy, however I cannot get the piston to recess into the housing. I tried prying it and using a C clamp to force it back. The front pistons recessed easily and brake fluid collected in the resevour. Is there some trick to get the rear brake pistons to recess? JSH, YOu need to go to the parts store and get a tool that screws the back pistons in while you compress them. The parking brake is an integral feature and that means that the piston slowly screws out as the pads wear to take up the slack. That being said be sure to look for the small pin on the back of the pad when installing the new ones and make sure the slot on the piston lines up or you will get some interesting pad wear. > I am replacing the brake pads on all four wheels.
