Anyone near quinte with a tol i need?

Post by midrange »

Is there anyone who lives near quinte that has the tool to turn the back pistons in the rear calipers that i can borrow for an hour or so.
I just want my brakes to be done, and don't want to rip it apart till i get the tool.

Anyone?

Should work with a standard flat screwdriver.
Seem to remember that we did it that way.

you can also use a wrench and turn it by hand... just place the end of the wrench on either side in the grooves and twist the piston in!
