Rear brake caliper replacement
Hi,
did I any "special" tools to replace the rear break calipers? I ask special about the parking brake cable installation and removing. |

Re: Rear break caliper replacement
No special tool for the removal of the brake cable as you will see, but there is one to turn the caliper piston in to fully retract it if necessary.

Re: Rear break caliper replacement
If this is the '92--'93 style rear caliper, you'd be crazy to buy/rent/borrow a "special tool" to TURN the caliper piston back in.
Remove the park brake cable by unscrewing the nut and washer, and remove the bracket. Push the piston STRAIGHT IN, the stud spins instead of the piston. Easy, simple, effective. I've never had an opportunity to play with the newer style calipers; I don't know if a similar trick works with them or not.
