I did mine 2 weeks ago and used a pair of pliers in the 2 little grooves to push in and turn the piston. Its not easy and requires quite a bit of force.

front rotors did not need to be turned...It's a 1989 Ford Tuarus SHO. I figured no one would have specific knowledge, but I thought I might be able to get some general info...

Thanks for the help, I will see if it will turn, BTW, which way did you turn it? clockwise, counter clockwise?

Thanks again,

Turn it clockwise, fronts do not need to be turned.

and dont worry as long as you dont disconnect and barke lines you dont need to bleed you brakes!!

clockwise to get it to retract

gotta turn and push.. open the bleed valve till the pistion goes in then close

there's a mechanism which is meant to keep the throw of the ebrake lever constant despite the fact your pads are wearing. This takes up the slack and gives you a consistent feel at the ebrake handle. This is what you're effectively resetting when you're turning the piston. The fronts don't have anything like that...hence the lack of need to turn them.

Or you can go buy specialty tools.
