What is the deal w/ the brakes on this integra? Like I said its a 96 Ls and I searched this and other forums, and from what I understand to compress the rear caliber you have to take the rotor off, put the caliber bracket back on the hub, place caliber back onto the bracket, then (heres where I get confused) with a prybar or something rotate it clockwise. Only its not rotating nor is it compressing. WTF

you either need the piston tool. or screw the piston in clockwise. its probably pretty difficult. you'll get it

Ok I finaly got it, heres what happened just encase someone comes across the same prob. When I used a c-clamp to compress the piston I guess I must have put it into a bind so when I tried to turn it , it wouldn't budge. Solution: step on the brake pedal just a little to pop it out, then (because I didn't have a box tool) I took a pry-bar and clamped vice-grips to the handle (for leverage) then it came free and rotated right on in. Got it and got her on the road.

Thanks for the help , everyone who helped.
