so i needed to do my rear brakes today.

i got the biggest C-clamp i could buy,
put it on the rear caliper piston and even with a 8 foot long pipe and a hardened steel 1/2" breaker bar i could not get the piston to retract.

i actually managed to get the car to FLIP over,but that dammm piston didnt budge,

LOL

just kidding guys,

i was doing some rear halfshaft work today,and thought to myself...
gee i havent seen any threads ,like what i just posted, in awhile,
usually every 2 months or so someone triies to compress the caliper instead of turning it.

i hope some you others see my humor ,it had me grinning while i was baking in the sun today,


ps,working on stone driveways suck..... i need a garage and a lift :D
 
I was about to start laughing at you, but you went and totally re-deemed yourself. :D



We had a guy in the shop the other day try to take a 10 ton porta power to his rear caliper to compress it. Luckily I walked in right before he cranked down on it. :)
