How to compress the spring to replace the rear brake pads on an Alfa Romeo 164 LS. We got the old brake pads off, but can't compress the spring to put the new pads on.
Thanks
Thanks. It's not compressing. How can I tell if it is just stuck or if I need new calipers?Thanks. It's not compressing. How can I tell if it is just stuck or if I need new calipers?
I was hoping that wasn't the case. It doesn't look like anything has been done to the brakes in a while. Will do. Thanks again! Have a great day!!!

No, there is NO spring. But all rear brakes NEVER return by just pushing in the piston. You must always rotate it while applying compression to retract it. It has a spiral anti-retraction pin in back of it.No, there is NO spring. But all rear brakes NEVER return by just pushing in the piston.

The 164 V6 is a turbocharged petrol, 2 litre, double overhead camshaft 60 degree V 6 cylinder with 2 valves per cylinder. It has an output of 207 bhp (210 PS/154 kW) of power at 6000 rpm, and maximum torque of 289 N·m (213 lb·ft/29.5 kgm) at 2750 rpm.
the feed wire for the switch will run through a ignition feed supply via the fuse box that i can tell you but where and what fuse i have no idea without a nice play and my greasy hands under the bonnet
You can get Alfa Romeo 164 Technical manuals from http://www.dr164.com/manuals.html
The clutch pedal sticking down is normally due to the damper sticking. You can see it just above the gearbox bellhousing. If it's not obvious, track the hydraulic line back from the clutch slave cylinder and you'll come across a disc shaped object with 2 hydraulic connections. You can either bypass this and rebleed the clutch cylinder (normal practise) or replace it and rebleed. The AR part number for EURO 1992 12v V6 cars and USA 1992 12v V6 cars is 60556925.
