I accidentally pushed the piston out of my rear brake caliper
Any pro tips for getting it back in? Can I grease the piston with permatex brake lube or is that ill-advised?

Should be able to just push it back in. I've always just lubed with brake fluid.

The cylinder bore and piston should be spotless. The piston must be perfectly lined up with the bore when inserted. Any misalignment will cause it to jam/bind. Don't force it!

Crack the bleeder valve while you push it back in. That way you aren't fighting air or brake fluid
If it's aligned properly and in good working order, you should be able to push it with just your hands |
