I nearly fell over laughing about about how stupid I was. I am always looking for ways to make jobs simpler. I got sucked in to this to the tune of $37 by the time it arrived. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)
The piston removal kit consists of: 1 Banjo bolt 1 Banjo fitting 1 Grease fitting 4 Copper washers Everybody out there that has any spare parts should be able to replicate this kit. Attached thumbnail(s)

ditto on the air...its cleaner.
Do put a piece of wood in place so the piston does not hit metal..it will come out fast with air. I also use the brakes themselves if the piston is stuck. Hook it back up to the rubber line..put a bucket under it and have your assitant press on the pedal... Its something like 750 psi using the pedal. 150 psi using air... You will not be happy if you use a grease gun. Rich |

And if you don't know 914's all too well, you can't use that on the back calipers because they twist off....for the front, you just apply pressure with air straight into the line. I guess there is indeed a tool for everything!!

I like the guys a Zim's, but that "tool" (for $37) is just funny!
I just use air after blocking off any extra holes. (IMG:http://www.performanceforum.com/wesvann/914a/mr/mr2.jpg) Watch your fingers!!!!! The big C-clamp is holding a piece of steel that prevents the piston from blowing into the next neighborhood, once free. Wes |
