You need a special tool to hold the ABS hydraulic control valves open during the bleeding procedure. So a well equipped shop needs to do this as the tool is very expensive.

Probably is broken off. In drum brakes cylinders,you can just bleed the brake cup by tilting it outward at the top,allowing bubbles to leave.
Disc brakes can't be done that way. You might loosen the brake line and see if bubbles will leave. It will be messy. don-ohio (:^)

Bleed all of your brake lines.

Yes, there is a special tool. Rear Caliper Piston Adjuster T87P-2588-A.

If it has a parking brake on the caliper,both
screw and push in

You access the bulb through the trunk. You will need to pull back trunk lining to reach the screws holding the lens cover in place. Undo the screws to remove the entire lens cover. Depending SE, SL, SES series you may be able to simply twist and pull bulb socket out without removing lens cover. The bulb is a typical auto bulb and is twist in. The cost of a new bulb is about 2 dollars.

Try this:

Some calipers have a bolt holding the hand brake mechanism to the body of the caliper. hold the mechanism with a spnner or If yours dont simply lever the mechanism with a bar or long screw driver. Place a pair of lock pliers/ mole grips on the cable(not too tight or you'll fray/damage the cable) then remove the cable from the caliper. When you get the pads out use a screw driver or wind back tool to reset the caliper travel or you will damage the caliper or lose the hand brake altogether.

not exactly sure of what your asking but they do have screw type calipers that use a special tool to screw them back into place. I have used needle nose vise grips.

here is a 96 taurus
