Snoopy49 Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 Is there any reason you can't use a c-clamp to compress the piston in the rear caliper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afdharley Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Is there any reason you can't use a c-clamp to compress the piston in the rear caliper? I've used this method before. Not on a Shelby, but as long as you're careful I'm sure it would work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6-Speed Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 (edited) Is there any reason you can't use a c-clamp to compress the piston in the rear caliper? I've used this method before. Not on a Shelby, but as long as you're careful I'm sure it would work. You cannot use just a C-clamp to reset the rear caliper pistons. The pistons must be turned in a clockwise direction while appling pressure to push them back into the caliper; this generally applies to rear brakes that combine the parking brake mechanism into the caliper. I use a caliper tool kit that's available from Harbor Freight. It allows me to turn the piston while applying forward pressure against a backing plate that's braced to the opposite side of the caliper.
