I'm trying to get the piston back into my rear calipers, but i am not having any luck. i have the tool that you need to screw them back in, but it doesn't seem to do anything. does anyone know any tricks or something????

these are known in the uk as screwback calipers they can be a pain what you need is a piston screwback tool one end is circular and has two lugs on it the lugs fit into the grooves in the piston and the other side goes on the inside of the bar that holds your outer brake pad in you might have to use a little force as this type of caliper is known for seizing and just screw the caliper back in also make sure you have the right adaptor with lugs to fit ford calipers and one last thing ensure you screw it in so the holes in the piston line up with the lugs on the back of the brake pad so the brake pad sits in the holes and not on top of the piston ill see if i can find some pics of the tool hope this helps
