- We have the calipers off the rotors, the problem is compressing the piston far enough to put the caliper back on the rotor with the new thicker shoes in place. We tried compressing the piston with the bleeder screw open, and it still wouldn't back off.Best Solution

on rear disc brakes the cylinder actually has to turn back in. careful not to damage cylinder use large pliers to turn it to the left (facing it) until it is far enough to replace the pads.

I'm not familiar w/ the Aurora, but this is how I've done it on a variety of cars: Open the bleeder valve, then using a large flat screwdriver placed against the rotor for leverage, put pressure on caliper (prying gently), w/ bleeder valve open, pressure on pads will be released, allowing u to remove them. countrycurt0

I agree with dogcat. YOu may also use a 6 inch c clamp to help squeeze the piston back in as you turn it with your channel locks.
