I don't know what to tell you about your piston problem except use lots of lube . And for an image it can't be on your computer, you have to actually put it on the net somwhere, go to your gallery on AF and upload the pic and then use the URL that it makes for the pic displayed below when it shows up in your gallery.

Well whats changed about it? Did you damage it or the hole it goes in by applying pressure with noting to push against? Ohh and what kind of rotors and pads did oyu get? Its something I've thought about doing.

Re: I need Big time help. Please help as ASAP
Not a problem, from what I can see, first off, did you take the cap off your brake fluid reseviour under the hood? Do that, and then just get the c-clamp in there and go slowly but do your best...it should work, just make sure the cap is off under the hood.

Re: I need Big time help. Please help as ASAP
Unscrew the bleeder screw to relieve any pressure on it and then try (you'll have to bleed it). And have you tried turning it in like a bolt. I know a lot of rear caliper pistons are threaded and you have to turn them to get it back in. If it's not the threaded type, just keep working at it with the C-clamp and it should go. Keep moving the clamp to different spots on the piston (top, bottom, left, right), at first you might not think you're moving it at all because you can barely see it, but it's moving, it might take a few minutes of doing this, but there's no reason that it shouldn't go in if the pressure is relieved.

Re: I need Big time help. Please help as ASAP
umm you'll have to find something to turn it, if there's no slot to put something in to turn it, then it probably doesnt turn...on one of my previous car's I used the edge of a crowbar, but from your pic it doesnt look like there would be anything to turn by. Now i'm thinking about what I said to do before...opening the bleeder won't do too much to relieve the pressure by itself...you may have to pump the brakes w/ the ignition off to get rid of the vacuum reserve (keeps pressure in the system), until the pedal gets hard...then try...that stupid piston should be goin in!
