I have a 2007 RL that I purchased last summer. Today I attempted to replace the front brake pads.
I was able to compress the two "outboard" pistons fairly easily using the old pad and a pair of pliers. However, the two "inboard" pistons wouldn't budge at all, even when using a c-clamp. Removing the brake fluid reservoir cap and loosening bleeder valve didn't help. I assumed maybe the caliper was stuck, so I moved on to the other front wheel... exact same issue.
So, do I have two bad calipers or am I (hopefully) just doing something wrong / stupid?
I've only done a handful of brake jobs in the past (Honda/Acura), but they have all been straightforward.
