that's what i did, and used a bar clamp to apply pressure, caliper held
in vise.

worked so well I decided to do the side I needed as well...

oh yeah, and mine don't take the allen, they have two slots on the outer
edge.

a quick "gravity bleed" for now (don't try this at home!), one more
strut housing with a red spring in it, one more set of used good front
pads and a used nuclear disc and it seems to be driveable again,
although a bit low to the ground compared to before.
