1982 rear brake rotor and pad replacement glitches 200 1982

I'm late on this and probably will be repetitive.

I always pry/ push/ squeeze the piston back with the old pads and rotor on. Variations on Ken C's method. If a piston won't retract enough to install new pads, time for another caliper.

Same for every vehicle: I just did my Dodge truck; ditto an old LandCruiser I had; ditto a friend's Chrysler; ....

I have on my own 240s run for a while on a sticky rear caliper but it's a poor economy.

I didn't know about the fatal master-cylinder problem that Ken mentioned. Maybe because I bleed myself sans assistant and have never (via luck) pushed a pedal to the floor during the bleeding process.
