Correct Technique for Compressing the Piston When Removing Brakes
Model: (Various brands) Various
In this video, you will see how to correctly compress the rear brake piston if you need to remove it yourself. The piston is held in place by just two bolts, indicating how delicate the system is. Avoid twisting the system during removal; the best approach is to leverage with a screwdriver to avoid twisting, but most importantly, hold it steady with a common vice while pushing in the brake pad. You do not need to apply much pressure; just keep it steady while you leverage. This way, you can safely remove it and easily take off the brake pads.
