supercharged_AP1, if you struggled turning the rear piston with a large flathead or a 3.8" socket drive, you might consider rebuilding the rear calipers. If it's stuck turning, it may also be sticking after brakes are released, causing your brakes to drag.

You will need one of these in the future. Can buy it at Sears. Attach it to a ratchet and then turn the piston in so the grooves display properly in the + pattern. Will make the job much easier

I'm changine my back rotors and pads on my s2k and I'm really having a problem here. Replacing the rotor with some Power Slot Rotors and just OEM Honda Brake Pads. I can't seem to get the piston to push back in on the caliper and it's getting me frustrated. I have the cap off of the brake fluid in the engine bay. Don't know why I'm having such a hard time. Any help or tricks would be appreciated. Need the car running because it is my daily driver.
