Brake question 2000 TJ (sorry if this is a repeat post)
Hello all...been awhile since I posted...been on the road on an
adventure in the Jeep...mostly in the Pacific Northwest...which I will
have to tell those interested about someday...it was great...
I have a brake question...(I has written up a draft which I think I
either accidentally posted or deleted...never showed up on the
newsgroup so I guess I deleted it)
Anyway...my question...
I am in the process of replacing the front brake pads. I can't get
the caliper piston to retract into the cylinder no matter how hard I
push/pry. I have been using a rubber coated pry bar with a rubber
block laying across the piston...the thing won't budge. I haven't
tried the other (left) side yet. I took the brake fluid resevoir cap
off, have a helper watching the fluid to see if it start to
backup/overflow...
Any ideas? The brakes work fine on daily use. Just needed a
replacement on the pads which I've done before (not on this Jeep) so
it's no big deal.
Like I said, I haven't been around for awhile...always watched the
group and occasionally contributed when I felt I had something to say.
Thanks

You need a Caliper Compression Tool:

This might be a silly question but did you loosen the bleed valve?

Re: Brake question 2000 TJ (sorry if this is a repeat post)
I always just used a big *** prybay to push the outer pad as
far away from the rotor as I can before I remove anything.
My real trick though is to turn the engine on just before I seat
each side. With the engine vacuum on the booster, I can seat
a good caliper in under a second.
Mind you this is on a non-abs system. Not sure if it works
for abs. It should work for abs though, if it doesn't, try pulling
the abs relay before you start the engine.
