[s-cars] Rear Brakes

[Richard Tanimura]

Calvin,

You are right. CW is the direction to retract the pistons. I have no idea
why I wrote CCW. I am glad you challenged that publically because it should
be clarified. I hope it didn't result in any mishaps.

Richard,

This is what confused me.  You said:

>I may be a barbarian but I turned my pistons back in using channel lock
>pliers. Just make sure you don't injure the rubber seals. And turn counter
>clockwise. It is a PITA if you turn them the wrong way.

You said counterclockwise in your first e-mail and since I had always turned
them CW I questioned that.  It seems as though with your most recent
response you did turn them CW which jives with what I have always done.

As far as the 3 comment goes, like I said in my last e-mail

>I went clockwise on the passenger side and on both of my pistons on my '89
200 (turns out it
>needed rear pads too).  All 3 of these seemed to work OK going clockwise.
Should I try CCW on
>this remaining one?

The 3 included two calipers on my '89 200 and the passenger side on the S4.
