Not sure I understand... The only problem is that the piston is out of the caliper right?

I would think all you would have to do is just clamp the caliper to push the piston back in to slide it back over the pads.. Unless I'm missing somethin..

yea i did. but they felt a little spongy...

the brakes are the one thing keeping you out of the car in front of you's trunk... i think i'll spend 20 bucks to make sure they're 100%

Obviously brakes are important....

From your original post it seemed you wanted to bleed the brakes to get the caliper back on.. Bleeding is very easy.. I did it when I replaced my lines with stainless. I bought a mity-vac which only required me to bleed the brakes like 5 times and they were solid..

Just pump, hold the lever, then bleed and repeat many times..

That tube might help ya out..

Good luck.
