need some rear brake help badly!!

[kefferjoe]

so i decided to fix the brakes this weekend and for some reason i cant compress botyh of the rear pistons with the C clamp...i dont know if i have to twist and compress or what....also on the driver side it seemed like there was absolutely no fluid coming out the bleeder even when it was pulled completely out but it may just mean it needs to be bleeded and the last person who did it didnt do very good. But any help would be greatly appreciated thanks

You should really buy a Haynes manual and read the instructions.

oh boy, first of all when compressiing the fronts or any brakes on any car ever you shoud NOT open the bleeders, the idea is to push the fluid back up to the master cylinder, it's generally a good idea to pip the cap off the master

the rears turn in, you cna buy a tookl at autozone or wherever, or you can do it with some needle nose pliers spread open, just turn them in, again, the bleeders stay closed

if you have already opened the bleeders you will need to bleed the brakes when this is done, PLEASE find someone who knows how to bleed brakes to help you, there seems to be a lot of morons who THINK they know how to bleed brakes but dn't

and yeah, you should defineitley invest int he haynes manual
