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

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

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?
