Brake Piston

We were changing mah open differential to a VLSD off of a S13 in japan, in the mean time we wanted to change the brake pads for the rear, but the problem we ran into was dat the brake pistion wouldnt move at all so we couldnt push it back. We used some C-clamps but dat still didnt work, so i was wondering if u guys had ne ideas or solutions dat might be able to help me solve the problem? The car brakes fine and everything. Thx for helping

I had the same problem, the rear dise brakes on the 240sx have to be turned clockwise to get the piston to moveback in. It has to do with the e-brake. I used a c-clap but it has to be turned so i took it all the way of and i found that you have to turn it. If it does not turn clockwise in then you have to take it out because there is probably rust inside. Then you can spin it back in.
