Hello everyone...New Owner of a 91 Thunder Bird Super Coupe, and I having a bit of a problem.
I have been working on and off all day on my right rear caliper piston to screw it in ( with the tool from Napa) so I can get the pads on. Should it take that long? It seems like every turn gives me miniscule to no movement in the piston into the cylinder. Its getting frustrating, I knew when I bought the car that I would have to replace the rotor on the RR and then found that the bracket had a seized pin that I couldnt get out, luckily a friend of a friend happens to have a 90 SC parts car that i riped the bracket off for $5 . I might be able to get the caliper too, but this really has me confounded. I keep reading where all these people say its cake with the tool, 30 min tops.
Any suggestions welcome...should i just get a new caliper or is there something I'm missing in doing this?
