Any ford mechanic here
 
I have a Ford 500 car and I am having trouble getting the back break calibers to go in. They Dont, I'm reading something about a special tool because it is a screw type piston that has to be rotated to be retracted anyone familiar with this please help?????

Go to Autozone and pick up the special tool. There are a couple of different variations, it can look like a spanner wrench or a cube with prongs on it (for universal applications) either one will work, just ask someone at Autozone, they should be able to hook you up.

Thanks fellas, Jordan it's an 07'...... After a little research I found out that you have to screw the caliper in while applying pressure, self adjusting...... anyway me and my neighbor got it. I had to rent the tool from Autozone for $55 but I will get a full refund when i return it.

No its a really nice car but its lacking in HP. Front wheel drive so I dont think you can cut many donuts in it. Although last year for MArdi Gras we were coming back home from Houma, the entire family fell asleep including me and I went off of Hwy 90 with the cruise set at 72 into the median, we cut a few donuts then. I drove home with no damage except for some flashing on the fender wall. Talk about a rude awakening, that was the single most scariest moment of my life.
