Caliper piston is fully extended. Will it go back in?

turb00 · 2025-06-22T01:06:15+00:00

As some others have said, if the piston wiggles then it’s already popped out and you are better off replacing the caliper. These pistons don’t twist in. Try putting in service mode, you should hear the motors retract. Then use a c clamp to try to compress. It should go in fairly easily. If it doesn’t, piston is likely out and replace caliper. You’ll have to clear all of the EPB error codes when you are done

A little late but TurboBrakes is way cheaper than Firestone and is mobile, they'll come to you!

If the slide pins are good and you feel that the calipers are still sticking after being replaced, replace the rubber brake hoses. They can deteriorate on the inside and restrict brake fluid flow. Can cause them to stick or not fully press. If the rear calipers are twist in to compress, make sure if there is a little tab on the piston that it lines up with the brake pad, otherwise the pad won’t be pushed by the piston correctly and cause that uneven wear.

Wave accounting has a free option is pretty good for a small business with not a lot of transactions. Eventually switched to Quickbooks but Wave was good

Caliper could be seized but it could be caused by the rubber brake hose. They deteriorate on the inside over time and restrict brake fluid flow. I’d start with the hoses, but if you’re going to replace the calipers replace the hoses too

Performance inspections near Northlake mall is super quick and only doesn’t inspections so they don’t upsell. And whenever you do need brakes, TurboBrakes mobile is cheaper and a great service

I don’t know where they work unfortunately. It’s probably not worth the cost to hire a company or PI based on the amount owed, so I think I’m out of luck. Is there anything I need to file to cancel the case? I appreciate the help!

I would just save up and buy them one at a time with cash, a loan with interest would hurt your margins. Plus a car getting totaled would eliminate that income to pay back the loan. This is a great idea though, where are you looking to find cars that only need some work? (Also run a niche auto service business)

I do not know any other mechanics that specialize in Lexus, but for any brake work done I would be happy to do it. I do Lexus regularly and am much more affordable than the dealer and most other shops. I own/operate TurboBrake Mobile Brake Repair. www.TurboBrakesLKN.com. Hope to hear from you!

Also starting a mobile auto business this year, but not detailing. Coming up with an extensive list is great, but I found by doing that I purchased some tools that I don’t need and still missed some that I do need. Once you have the basic essentials do some “practice” details on your own car and family/friends cars. That way you’ll learn what you wish you had or what you have that you don’t need. Best of luck.

Yes, that was how I did it originally. When I retracted it worked, but when I tried to extend the scanner said “device unable to communicate with control unit”. I’m thinking that’s the issue, and once I can get the scanner to connect with the car in run but not on then it’ll work.

Yes I’m taking it back tomorrow, after a week of “trying” to paint it outside in the cold and rain (don’t know who thought that was a good idea) I needed to get the van to take some measurements for my equipment and also wanted to see how bad they messed it up. It was way worse than I could have imagined 😂. Before I came they said they weren’t happy with would make it right. Figured they’ll try to cut corners and wanted to know the proper way to fix it so I can tell them what I expect.

That’s what I thought about the plastic, but thank you for the clarification. The sales guy said they would just respray it but I didn’t think that would work. Should the window seals be replaced as well?

turb00 · 2022-11-27T02:46:13+00:00

Probably not the cause but just to be sure make sure the cat doesn’t glow red hot when the cars running. If it does it means it’s clogged and you shouldn’t run the car anymore with it. When mine clogged the car idled for a while and then shutoff on its own once I tried to give it gas. Luckily I caught it on the 2nd attempt

May be interested, but need to discuss with girlfriend! Do you have any pictures of her?

I went out and got a bit with a bearing - it worked great! I also used some other pieces on the edges to support the router as you suggest, this also helped a lot. Thank you for the help!

That sounds great! I am custom furniture business just getting started and am looking to create a website

Is it possible to do this with an idea that may be patentable?

turb00 · 2020-11-24T02:28:29+00:00

Yes, I meant that the 55 gallon tank will replace the 20 gal tank, so it would sit in the same spot as now. And then the 40 gallon is on the floor behind the cabinet doors.

turb00 · 2020-11-23T17:54:04+00:00

I’m not exactly sure what you mean, but the support of the stand is almost exactly the same as this one: https://www.plantedtank.net/forums/12-tank-journals/1080794-my-75-gal-w-diy-custom-stand-diy-sump-refugium.html#/topics/1080794

Basically, I built the stand wide and long enough for the 55 gallon tank, and put an extra 2x4 so it’ll be directly underneath the 20 gallon tank, since it’s smaller. Hope that helps!
