How do you depress the piston on the rear brake caliper? I have rear disc brakes and can't get the rear piston to depress at all to fit the new rear pads. Please help ASAP.

monoxide is right. Most cars you push the piston in but on a 240sx you have to screw them... 240sx brakes are a biotch thats why i am getting ready to swap to 300zx brakes :)

The front brakes on 240's are completly normal disc brakes while on the rear they thread in like Monoxide said, but if you do not want to use channel locks, then you can get a special tool for that by either renting one or something at Autozone, or I bought mine at Harbor freight for $20. But its all up to you. Good luck.
