Rear Brake Rotor Replacement
I've got a 94 90 csq and am trying the replace the rotors and pads in the back. I got the old rotors off and the new ones mounted but the piston will not go back into the caliper. I even went as far as to take the caliper off the brake line and try on a workbench. I'm using a brake spreader from pepboys. Do I need the special tool shown in bentley? SOrry, i'll be at work so i won't be able to reply but any suggestions are appreciated.

Piston needs to be spun while pressing in... (IIRC clockwise to spin in)...
You might even be able to push in by hand while spinning... seem to recall being able to do that on some calipers... others will need more force applied while you spin them.
