Need brake help!
I changed both front and driver rear brake pads with no problems. But on the passenger rear I could not turn the piston back in. So in a moment of stupidity I decided to pump the brake to free the piston. BAD move. The piston popped out of the caliper. How do I get it back in. Or am I buying a whole new caliper?
Thanks

$50 over $145? Next time you have trouble winding/pushing the piston back, crack the bleeder open, this will make it a bit easier.

Rebuilding a caliper is one of the easiest things you can do.

I have rebuilt calipers, rebuilding it does not involve simply screwing it back in, as evident by the DIY you posted. The OPs caliper was hung up because it needs rebuilt, evident by the corrosion all around where the piston seal should seal. Rebuilding the rears is a PITA. When rebuild kits are $25 and rebuilt are $70 it is an easy choice for me.
