    On mine I had to rotate the piston many times back and forth before it would actually compress and then it was very slight at first and finally began to compress after working at it for a while. I just used a pair of vice grips for mine since I didn't have a tool specific to the task but it...

    I just picked up a 13 limited and had read about the dragging rear brake issues that the Explorer seems to have. Mine doesn't seem to be generating any of the symptoms but just to be sure I was wondering if there are any specific recommendations for anti seize products for the rear brackets? I...
