2003 Accord V6 had to replace a rear bearing and noticed a rear brake issue. Driver side probably not making any contact. Neither caliper could be compressed. I used a large screw driver etc. (i have replaced the back brakes on my other 2003 Accord with no problems.) I also make sure i removed the brake fluid reservoir cap prior to trying to compress. I thought it would be odd that both back calipers would be bad. Any advice would be great. Car always seemed to stop smoothly so I was surprised that there was a brake issue. Imagine front brakes doing all of the work. 160,000 miles on car and I believe the calipers had been replaced by the previous owner.

You are saying that you are trying to compress the caliper piston by using a screwdriver and then turning the piston clockwise? After trying this method both pistons are frozen in the bore? I have a tool that works with a 3/8 in drive rachet. The tool looks like a small cube and each face has a pattern to match different piston styles. You can find these at Harbor Freight, Auto Zone to name a few. Perhaps try this instead?
Thanks bought new calipers and went on without a hitch. Thanks for the posts. New parts are so much easier to put on than the old broken ones. HaHa.
I think this is what fitone is talking about. But hey if the got the money to spend on new parts more power to you. http://youtu.be/rlMU8K36Hjo
