    Jag question

    I am doing rear brakes on a friend's 2001 Jaguar S-Type.
    I can't seem to get the Calipers compressed to get the new pads in. The setup on it is a built in parking brake on the caliper. My first thought was that it must have some kind of automatic adjuster to make up for the pad getting old but i can't seem to find any kind of adjuster to release it. I need some ideas on how to compress it.

    any help is appreciated

    you probably need one of those little squares for "twisting" the piston back in. Look in the Help section or tools.

    I used the loaner tool from the parts store and got it done quickly. I didn't realize it had to twist while being compressed. Thanks for the help.
