1.8 brake upgrade install problems
Alright guys, Ive gone through braineaks brake upgrade instructions and **** im already stuck and I havent even done **** yet. I took the bottom bolt off (the one covered with the dust cap) like instructed but how the **** do u guys swing the caliper up? Am i missing something here? or is my **** like rusted or something? The caliper will not even move an inch. BTW this is the left rear rotor.
I did a brake job on my 350z but the caliper flew up in 2 seconds and had the pads out and changed out in about 15 minutes. Any suggestions?

alright guys UPDATE...i didnt want to make a whole new thread for this..... I have finally had the chance to do the brakes. I have the 2 fronts and the left rear COMPLETED with my stainless lines and everything. and the right rear caliper will not fit over the pads. WTF am i doing wrong? Caliper seems to be pushed in all the way but it just wont go back and sit flush like the left rear one. I even bought another caliper and the same **** happens again.I pull the piston back with the allen wrench. Any help appreciated

make sure that allen bolt is all the way out, and that you've got the pads seated correctly and fully.
there should be two bolts holding the caliper together. take them out, put your hand over the piston, and blow compressed air into the hole that the banjo bolt goes into. better yet put a rag in your hand, then put it over the piston, then blow the air.
this will blow the piston out and you can clean it out. if you're careful with everything, you shouldn't need any new seals or o-rings.
