Is a polydrive or a Ribe drive used for the rear brake calipers? The PMB video says to use an R5 Ribe, but states you can use a T27 Torx, but it is better to use the Ribe. When looking for a Ribe bit, I cam across the Polydrive. There seems to be some confusion as to what, specifically, is needed. Anyone have a definite answer for the 914 rear brake calipers?

I was looking at some ‘RIBE’ bits on Amazon, and the description also referred to them as polydrive. I posted a question, but got no response. The pictures in the listing weren’t good enough to tell the difference. You might examine anything of less than well established provenance carefully.
Me? I just sent the whole lot of calipers to Eric to rebuild. |
