How to change rear brake pads on 2001 integra ls?

I tried it but i couldnt get the caliper to open enough so it could get on top of the pads, i tried using the caliper opening tool, but no help , if anyone had done this please let me know the steps thanksHow to change rear brake pads on 2001 integra ls?If it's like most older Acura's, you need to rotate the piston clockwise for it to go in. There will be a couple indentations on the face of the piston. Put the tips of a decent sized needle nosed pliers in each side, as opposed to grabbing the outside which might scratch it. They do make a special tool that I have, but I don't usually even bother using it.



When you get it back in all the way, make sure that the knob on the back of the brake pad fits into one of the indentations in the piston, or it won't work right. Rotate the piston back out a little until it lines up, if you need to.How to change rear brake pads on 2001 integra ls?I'm not too sure of the type of caliper used on the Acura's. However, as far as I know, you can either push a caliper piston in with a C clamp, or it has to be turned with a special type of tool. For example, Ford application calipers. One can easily distinguish them by the notches on the pistons. If neither works, caliper might be locked.How to change rear brake pads on 2001 integra ls?Check here http://www.thepartsbin.com/change-brake-How to change rear brake pads on 2001 integra ls?some calipers have to be turned out instead of decompressed so just grab a pair of needle nose pliers and twist it back in
