Brakes problem
1996 Buick Regal Front Wheel Drive 78000 miles

From the looks of the pads I don't believe the brakes have ever been changed on this vehicle. I had no problem compressing the pistons on the front calipers, but I can not compress the pistons on either rear caliper. I even opened the bleeder valves. I find it hard to believe that both pistons could be frozen. Any suggestions. Thanks VT

Hi von737
You have to rotate the piston clockwise until it bottoms out. Release air from dust boot. They make a tool for this but I have used chanel locks. Grab hold of the cut out area a screw it down.
Good luck
Thanks for donation
