BratRod Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Ah, this one gets me every time. The piston screws into the caliper. C-clamp will no nothing but frustrate you. Use a pair of channel locks, or go buy the tool from a local auto parts store. They're cheap, and fit on the end of a 3/8" ratchet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crawdad Posted January 11, 2014 Author Share Posted January 11, 2014 Thanks wasn't too sure about screwing them in, just wanted to check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
