I have a 2000 GS Integra. I don't understand how to retract the rear
caliper pistons. It appears from the manual that you rotate the piston to
line up with the tab on the inner pad. However, do you retract the piston
with a c-clamp like you do the fronts, or does turning the piston retract
it.
This is urgent, I'm about to botch a rear brake job.

Thanks a lot.

rotate the piston

its turns. you can buy it at your parts store. it looks like a cube that you
stick a 3/8 drive ratchet onto it.

Thanks. It turned easily with just a pair of needle nose pliers.
