[V8] rear brakes

[Kneale Brownson]

You have to rotate the piston clockwise while compressing.  Careful
application of water pump pliers will get it done, but a better way is this
tool:   http://www.thetoolwarehouse.net/shop/LIS-25000.html      The disks
include one with projections on the face to match the depressions in the
piston face.  Turning the screw with a wrench both turns and compresses the
piston.
