2004 Elantra 2.0 HVT XD Brakes
 
Hi, I am currently replacing the brake discs and have done the front with no problem. So far I have only tried to do the rear R/H but am unable to push the piston back in while using a piston tool. Any advice would be appreciated. Regards

The piston on many (but not all) rear calipers must be turned when pressing it back in. Generally this is the case where the emergency/parking brake is part of the caliper and not a separate drum brake inside the rotor hat. The Elantra does use the caliper as the parking brake and it must be turned to be compressed back in. You need a tool that looks like this:

It goes on the end of an extension on a ratchet and it twists the piston back in (clockwise). Find the side of the tool where the studs best match the grooves in the piston.
