I'm installing my back wheel after getting a new rear tire. I'm trying to reinstall the caliper but I'm unable to spread the brake pads apart enough to get the caliper over the brake rotor. I have the parking brake cable and the return spring unhooked. I manual moved the parking brake to the front and that made the pads that much closer. Bottom line is I'm unable to spread apart the brake pads in order to push the brake cylinder in. Help, Neil

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Take needle nose pliers and insert them in the divots on the piston, turn clockwise to spread the pads.

It's not pushing cylinder back-in....
.... it needs to be screwed back in. The lever should have been pushed BACK, not forward. But no matter, just remove that lever, and screw that pin the lever is attached to. (scew clockwise). The piston will back in the bore.
