i assume you are talking about the threaded caliper? if so it's very common, i have a snap on set that has several adapters for various size threaded calipers. I would guess you can rent one at a decent tool rental joint

ive never actually used one, in california they arent hard to turn

Hmmm, I still got no reply notifications? Thanks. I will try something. I didn't know they turned until I read the haynes manual last night.,,,,BB

i think i use a 14mm wrench and a screwdriver

Buzzbomb 05-20-2006 01:56 PM

I guess I don't get the full scope. What're each of those for? Do you have to loosen something before you screw the piston in?,,,,BB



Haynes manual says just turn the piston?? If you mean a 14mm to remove the caliper from the bracket, I've already gotten that far?

What calipers are they from?I never had a set of threaded calipers on any of my 7's

Buzzbomb 05-20-2006 02:09 PM

1982, 4 wheel discs. Talking about the rears? Sorry I should've mentioned that beforehand.,,,,BB
