Can you take a C-Clamp and compress the caliper?

Changing the pads? if you have a VW you have to turn it as you push it in. My Ford was easier and was just able to push it in with some clamps.

I did change shit wrong one time.  Brakes were stiff as fuck.  Ended locking up on the rotor.  Smoke galore.  Happend in St. Petersburg.  Boy did I look like a tool.  Smelled god awful and had to wait a good 30 min before I could even touch the fuckers as they were so hot.

If you can't compress it with a c-clamp it's probably seized.
