Brake pad

[tiloi]

I tried to DIY the brake service and when I finished cleaning the front brake. I cannot put the brake pad back? See attached, can anyone provides some advice?

You have to push the pistons back in to install the pads.

Google it.

I was able to push one side back but another side is very steady. Would you be able to show me a video or any tool needed to do the job? Thanks.

This is the doodade Disc Brake Pad Piston Compressor you can go much more expensive on them if you want. Just do some googling on pushing disc brake caliper pistons back in.

Assuming Tesla brakes are like others, only one side moves.

Finally I managed it without any mechanic tools. Thanks everyone!
