anyone have a meet place in the southern part yet? also for all of us that have to go south.....anyone wanna meet up and cruise?

 

Not yet today after work i will. I gotta put it back on jacks, and then im going to try bleeding it with the car on. See if that works out. And i gotta get that tool to turn the rear pistons in the calipers.

 

Rotate your pistons before bleeding them again.

Hey onechk do you have an ss bumper on th front of the G5

My buddy just got his genesis tinted there and they did a great job

 

yeah he does do an awesome job and they honor their warrenty without issues.

 

So today i was planning on finishing the brkae bleeding. I jacked the car up on stands, took off the wheels, and took out the rear pads. I rented the tool to turn the rear pistons. So i started on the rear drivers. I turned the piston and then the ******* piston poped out a little so much that i was unable to get the pads back in to fit over the rotor. I then took off the caliper and used the c clamp i bought from O reilys. I was having trouble before compressing the pistons but i got it to work last time by putting a peice of wood on the top of the caliper to gain some support. This time i kept turning and i ******* snapped the metal bar that turns the clamp. Im so pissed these ******* pistons wont go in, maybe i just need to go to sears and by the C clamp. Is anyone available to help me get them back together and bleed? I really need someone experienced to help. I will make it worh your while (not in a sexual way lol).

 

Those rear pistons are a bitch. I used 3/8" rachet with a tool from Harbor Freight to push with all my force and turn at the same time. I was dead by the time I got both sides screwed in.

 

^^Didn't have any problems with mine. They just pushed back in. Maybe your brake fluid reservoir is full? If you fill it when you have worn pads, there isn't always enough room for the brake fluid when you push the pistons back in.

 

dude you're on a different page. the ss/tc rear is not like your front. thanks anyway.

 

I know the SS/SC rears need to be Screwed back into the caliper, just did mine. You cant clamp them back in like the fronts.

 

i might be able to help you out depending if my new tool for the calipers comes soon. its been on back order. i also have a vacuum bleeder...so if you have an air compressor we should be good. then i just need to find a way to you lol

 

Try cranking it down with the bleeder screw open. You might be pressurizing the system when you are screwing in the piston. Also, there is absolutely NO need for a C clamp, whatsofrickinever. The pistons only screw in, there is no pushing. You can push with all the weight in the world, and its not gonna give.

How I did mine was take a pair of needle nose pliers, and put the nose in the grooves and started turning. It took a while, and it was not comfortable, but it did the job. But, try opening the bleeder valve, and see if that helps you any.

Also... didn't you bleed the brakes already? If so, why? Did you do the fronts and need to bleed them? So, if you bled them already, you probably increased the pressure in the system so you can't force the piston back in.

I would offer to come help, but I am almost 3 hours away, lol. I will be up there Friday, and MIGHT be able to work something out if its not fixed by then, but I doubt it, since I will be driving my truck home, and its not exactly legal, haha.

Lemme know if I can help any more. I think if you open the bleeder valve up then you will be good.

 

Im getting antsy!! cause i know someone who is going to give me so little money for my time and effort just to make him happy with his cars hp. but i know he can bring me customers thats why im doing it. when he see's it he better be blown away or else! but for those of you who respect him i wanna hear your input on what you wanna see him do on the dyno this sat? for those of you who dont know who im talking about please dont respond to this.

 

I want to see him obliterate his previous numbers. But, that wouldn't be too hard. What is he going to go with on the infiniboost? 24psi?

Honestly, I think if Vince will go decently aggressive with it, he will see about 310-320.

 

yeah i think a 24lbs selectable tune with the unlocked fueling will surpase the previous numbers. post up the dyno sheets when its done.

 

I already bled the brakes all around previosly and then when i was about to back out of the garage the brake pedal hit the floor. I got the pistons in before using the c clamp and a piece of 2x4, but yesterday i snapped the metal handle trying to push the piston in. And i wont be able to work on it until friday unless i dont go to my thursday class. And i dont mind picking someone up thats doesn't live too far and who has some tools to help with.

And sorry Dom im trying to get this **** done with asap, just not having good luck with the brakes.

 

Had planned on making it out but wasn't feeling a 60 mile ride after work =( but gonna definitely try for this saturday in Tinley.

check this out. just for ***** and giggles lmao

 

rayn got owned hahahahahahahah

 

Ugh. You aren't listening to us. The rear caliper pistons DO NOT push back in. If they did the first time, you did something wrong, or something isn't right. I think the source of your frustrations is your hardheadedness, and that if you would listen to what we are saying, rather than repeating everything you already said, that we already know... you might actually get somewhere.

Anyway, good luck.

 

ok so if i dont push it back in how else am i supposed to get the pads to fit into the caliper? with the way the piston is right now, the pads are far enough to fit over the rotor.
