SR-TRex · 10-21-2011, 04:58 PM

hey guys i have a s13 with 300zx front break kit on it i was wondering whats the best way to compress the 4 pistons couldnt figure out how to do it and every search i did either just said compress the piston or gave some vague answer so maybe someone out there can help?

BRAKE

Not break.

SR-TRex · 10-21-2011, 05:11 PM

oops didnt even realize

Drift_86 · 10-21-2011, 05:19 PM

You know if you type in how to compress brake piston on google you'll get your answer in like less then one min

SR-TRex · 10-21-2011, 05:24 PM

not the answer im looking for as i have done that already it only pops up with a standard single piston not a four piston set up but if you found it then idk why it was so hard to copy and paste a link or why u would even waste time with your post

SLiDe_WaYz · 10-21-2011, 05:29 PM

C clamp...... Common sense?

Drift_86 · 10-21-2011, 05:32 PM

omg you use a c clamp and put your brake pad on the piston if you search it you would of know that

bc. · 10-21-2011, 09:28 PM

yeah, use a clamp, but that probably wont work unless you loosen the bleeder valve X/

*fliprayzin240sx* · 10-21-2011, 09:37 PM

You don't have the pop the bleeder, just make sure you pop the brake reservoir cap off.

Ekin_s13 · 10-21-2011, 10:02 PM

i use this to compress the caliper. you have to leave the brake pad in the caliper and with that tool it would compress all 4 piston at the same time.

slydin240sx · 10-21-2011, 10:05 PM

damn noob questions...lol

future · 10-21-2011, 10:23 PM

Where can I but that compresing tool? Lol that looks way cooler hen the normal way

herbieS13 · 10-21-2011, 10:51 PM

if you dont have a c-clamp u can use a big screw driver with the pad on

SR-TRex · 10-22-2011, 09:57 AM

damn im sorry it was such a noob question. never done four piston brakes and so i was a little confused. also i figured as much with using the old pad and c.clamp just didnt know i had to crack the bleeder, but thanks for the help and not flaming like some of the A.holes who've posted on here . also where can i buy that tool lol
