Chevrolet Repair: rear brakes 2004 malibu, rear brakes, hydraulic force

Question
how do I compress the rear calipers?  Do I need a special tool?  On my other cars I have just used a clamp but that doesn't work on this system


Answer
Hey Doug,

 Remove the bleeder screw before attempting to push them back.  It could be hydraulic force that isn't letting you push them back or it could be a seized caliper.  You should always remove the bleeder anyhow because if you push the caliper back the sediment and old fluid is being pushed back towards the ABS hydraulics and Master cylinder seals.
