Corolla Gt Coupe Ae86

I want to change my disks and pads. I have started at the rear first.

I have removed the lower caliper fixing bolt and hinged the caliper up. To change the pads I need to screw in the piston but I can only screw the piston in a quarter of a turn. It needs !Removed! in more to become flush with the casting. Can any one suggest how to get round this. This is the first time I have attempted to carry out some mechanical diy on the brakes but I am willing to learn.

hi there,dont qoute me on this,but try releasing some brake fluid first then try,also make sure your handbrake is off,it says in my haines manual,slowly turn the caliper clockwise whilst pushing it in until it locks.hope this helps stella
