Hey guys, I painted my calipers today, and removed them except for the lines for better access. However putting them back on, the front brake pad fell out of the caliper (rear passenger side). Having never put pads on the Eclipse, I wasn't sure what to do. Somehow the piston got moved forward, and now there isn't enough room to fit both pads, and certainly not enough to fit the whole caliper over the rotor. Any ideas on how to get the piston back without removing the lines. I don't know know how to bleed the lines, so I'm hoping I can get away without it. Here is a pic that shows the amount of room I'm talking about. Only the rear pad is in in this pic.
