2014 RTS Rear Brake Problem

[EzeSpyderGA]

I am having trouble compressing the rear brake cylinder piston on my 2014 RTS. I have disconnected the parking brake cable from the unit. When I try and compress the brake cylinder piston back into the body of the brake caliper assembly there is a lot of resistance and it does not want to compress. Am I missing something here?:banghead::banghead:

Yep, I believe you are missing something!!

The rear brake piston SCREWS back in to the caliper!! You need to look at the face of the piston, there are 2 holes in that. Using either a brake tool designed for this task or maybe something like some long nosed pliers, insert the tips into those holes & wind it back in....

It is that easy, IF you try screwing it in rather than pushing!! Hope that gets the job done for you. :thumbup:

Its easy, just take a pair of needle nose pliers insert into the 2 small holes in the cylinder and turn clock wise.
The cylinder will go right in.

Ok, so that is what I am missing. I will turn that little guy and be back in business. Thank you, thank you!!!!!!
