What do you folks use for rear brake calipers?

That’s interesting as I and others know the general way to do it. I don’t have the valuable time to use looking stuff up on jist one vehicle. My boss would have my behind. I get what you are saying but my work is about being productive. Live and learn. “Modern” vehicles eh? We sublet a lot of brake and other issues since they are well under warranty also. I see brand new stuff daily and lots of recalls too.

If you don't have time to look up procedures on modern vehicles then you are a 2 bit hack that has no business working on modern vehicles. If your boss is the same way... get some training and find a new job because the shop won't be around long.

Depends on the type of caliper. Regular caliper I use a big C-clamp and just push it back it. If it's the newer type where the e brake is part of it, you need that little cube with the different points on them to twist/turn caliper back in while pushing. GM had these on their late 1980's Regal's and Grand Prix's. Real PITA. Now, there back again .... Gimme a top hat e-brake anyday. There like a mini brake drum set up.
