So I started my project saturday
and my car is still on stilts today. I got my brake pads (non-abs) but I can't get the frickin piston back to fit over the new pads. So now what do I do I was thinking maybe a clamp!?!?:help

I just got done doing this lastweek. New pads , rotors , and a new f**king caliper. The reason i had to get a new caliper: Unbenouced to me i thought you could use a C-clamp to press the piston back into the caliper..Wrong! You need this special bit (that you can get from any auto parts store for real cheap) to press them back in. If you use a C-clamp you risk breaking the caliper..70 dollar mistake here. =\ You cant just press the piston back in , it screws or rotates in. Dont make the mistake i did...=*[Oh yea , get this , when i thought i was done with my complete brake job i went for a test drive around the block when i got back to my house , Smoke was bellowing out of my rear wheel..sheesh it was s**ty! so i had to get new pads and a caliper...Lesson learned! -B
Tino: This happens with some PS2's. What you need to do is call Sony and let them know how pissed you are about it. They should be willing to fix it for you for free, because they have done it for some of my friends. Let me guess, the problem has to do with purple CD bottoms?
Bandit240: Sorry bud, you've just played your copy of GT2 too much. It happened with mine (froze at the VW dealor), and with my buddies (froze at the Toyota dealor). You just have to go spend the $10 and get a new copy. Worked for us.

Me thinks that changing your brakes isn't a "project", most people just call it basic maintance.
Oh yeah, canollis are so good....and I used a C-clamp on the front calipers with no problem, they aren't "indented" like the rears, and as lost said, you don't need some overpirced stupid wrench, you need pliers, it doesn't take brain surgery.
