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?



14mm fits in the caliper piston notches and then you put the screwdriver in the wrench and turn, in CA this works, but your car's all rusty, so it might not

Got it done. Used a pegged wrench from a Makita grinder arbor. Fit right in it and spun it easily. BTW? Keep

your opinions on amount of rust to yourself, if you haven't seen the car. The only rust on the car is in

my other post, and is the fault of a poorly designed battery tray. Or was it meant as a joke? I couldn't tell.,,,,BB

LOL, damn California snobs.... Why pick on a Texas car when there's one from Michigan around, eh? Now we've got rust! Fortunately none of it has found its way onto my car yet though... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png



For turning in the piston, I like that idea of the arbor tool (which I just happen to have). Thanks for the tip! I've always used a pair of needle-nosed pliers to screw them in, but it tends to ruin the pliers.

Just noticed at Sears the other day. Lisle makes a six sided caliper tool. Looks like a gold cad box with pegs on all side.,,,,BB
