Re: How do i push piston in rear caliper back ?

[Elliott Potter <epotter@abraxis.com>]

Does the piston have two slots on it?  If so then it doesn't push in, it
screws in.  You need to get a special tool made by Lisle (I think) that
screws it in.  Note that there's some all-in-one tool that is a cube and
has different kinds of ends on it, DON'T GET IT!!!  It's horrible and
doesn't work.  Get the Lisle tool (which is a little less horrible).
