97 ES300 Rear brake install problems
Guys!
I put my new pads in and now the caliper wont go over them they are too thick.
I cant find any way to release the caliper. I tried bleeding the brakes with no luck! I need help asap!!!!!!

You need to compress the piston back in the caliper. I alway the big channel lock or C-clamp to compress the piston. There's a 12 mm bolt that hold the brake line to the strut, remove that bolt too and it will make it a lot easier.
