Re: How do i depress the rear caliper on my 2006 Grand...
If you don't have pressure in your brake line - usually you can depress the caliper by hand just by pushing the top and bottom - but you normally have to release the brake line pressure first.

On the 1995 grand prix the rear calipers are turned and pushed in at the same time to get caliper piston in. be careful not to use a c- clamp to try and push them in as damage will occur to caliper, theres a tool used to push pistons in, theres one thats a wheel with pins that sit on the face of the piston and you turn and push in at the same time, lets see if i can get a picture for you, also you can rent this tool at many auto part stores.heres a few tools and a pictures, there is also a cube shaped tool thats cheap and does the job, good day, hope this helps.
they look the same. your problem is either an emergency brake thats locked or a bad wheel bearing thats locked up. have you smelled brakes burning? if so,then i would say a brake issue. if not have you heard a squeling sound coming from the rear of car? if so then wheel bearings bad. either way the tire has to come off to look and see which it is.either one of these solutions can be your problem. hope this helps and thank you for choosing fixya.com
Go to pontiac dealer. Parts dept and they will sell you the retaining bolts. The price will surprize you. its much better than going to a auto salvage yard, And taking a chance pulling a pair off a junk car. they will be rusty and the car can fall off the jack and kill you!
I hope this was of some help!
