My new rear discs are on and the calipers are off waiting for me to retract the pistons before i replace the pads, but i have no idea how to retract the pistons on my 98 GT (3SGE).
![]() Can anyone tell me how to do this please? Many thanks ![]() |

Thanks guys, i had a crack using the old pad to help compress the piston back in. The result was that the rubber seal bulged some what and oozed brake fluid... can't see that as being a good thing! Thoughts?

Thoughts? ![]() mm, when i retracted, the seal budged, i liftef it carefuly from one side and air came out and it sat properly. did not have any fluid come out. when you pushed the piston in, did you have the cover of the brake fluid reservoir open. that usually helps to relieve the pressure on the fluid... -------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years...
