2. The other night I was helping my brother change the
brakes and rotors on my sisters Mazda sedan.
3. Everything was going smoothly until we realized we
needed a special tool to push the piston back into the
caliper in order to place the new brake pads in.
4. Apparently on most new cars in the rear caliper
piston needs to be twisted and pressed back in.
5. There are two holes on the top of the piston that help
you spin it has it is pressed in.
6. Which means sometimes you can get away with
using a pair of needle nose pliers to place into the
holes and spin.
7. We tried using the pliers for about 20 minutes, but
we’re getting known where.
28. A flashlight is a very handy tool especially when it
gets dark outside.
29. If you ever lose power in your home or if your car
breaks down on the side of the road at night, having a
flashlight will be a small investment that you were
glad you made.
