I'm trying to replace the pads on my 99 Taurus . According to the manual ,I need to screw in the caliper piston to seat it .I've been turning it in about 20 turns but it doesnt seem to move in at all.Am I not doing this right? I disconnected the parking brake cable when turning it.
Rotate rear disc brake piston and adjuster CLOCKWISE using Rear Caliper Piston Adjuster T87P-2588-A until piston is fully seated.

and it's a slow job
It should only take 4-5 revolutions of the piston WHILE ALSO COMPRESSING it into the bore. If i'm remembering the internal construction of those calipers correctly,
20 turns in either direction would mean internal problems with the caliper.MotorsForum website is not affiliated with any of the manufacturers or service providers discussed here. All logos and trade names are the property of their respective owners.
