I have a 95 200sx. i'm trying to change my rear disc pads. I have a clamp on the piston to shove it back in but it will not move at all. I took the cap off the brake reservoir thinking that might help. No it didn't. This particular side of the brake pads were both worn way down. The other side pads didn't even need to be changed. Do I need a new caliper?? or what?

Appreciate any help u can offer. Josh

Not too sure about 200sx but 240sx i know you have to take a plier and turn the piston to make it go in... You cant push it.

You should see notches in your piston if its the type im talking about

yeah, you have to spin the piston in clockwise.
