89 240sx coupe rear disc brake, HELP!!!

Tokyo_X-treme_R · 09-16-2004, 06:07 PM

Ok, I've just bought an 89 240sx coupe and both rear brakes are almost out, I finished pulling out the nuts/bolts from the brake pads and disassembled it. The problem is I bought new brake pads but when I put them together there is not enough gap space for the rotor? Do I need to use a C-Clamp to push out the brakes or what, PLEASE HELP!!! I need to use my car. Also does the 89 240sx coupes comes with ABS, my car is an SE model.

No ABS you have to screw in the piston... needle nose pliers work great for that. There are 4 notches that allow you to get a grip on the piston to turn it in.
