Hi, I own a 1991 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme with a 3.1 liter V-6 with 77.000 miles. I understand this problem is not unique

Your going to have to explain a little better than that. What is it your trying to do?
Front or rear?

The problem is in the right rear disc brake.

That doesn't help any. What are you trying to do and what is the problem?

Revolver; Okay, the problem is in the RR caliper. There are two bolts that hold the caliper to the mount. Two bolts that hold the mount to the spindle. Both must be removed to remove the rotor. But, you still haven't told us what kind of problem you are having.

I suspect the problem is retracting the piston in the caliper.
It doesn't just push in. It has to be threaded in while applying pressure. They make a number of tools to help do this. Here are a couple of them.

It's time for the poster to elaborate on the problem some more. We can speculate all day. Until he helps a little, we are just spinning our wheels.
