Is there a proper way to spread the brake calipers when changing pads?
I assume the rears can be opened up with the adjustment screws. How does one spread the front calipers? Do I use something like a paint stick and make sure there is room in reservoir? Is it okay to push fluid backwards through the master cylinder? |

I use something made of wood to put pressure on the pistons, the rear also requires the use of the adjuster.
The factory manuals have the procedure, but they assume you have the factory tools. http://p914-6info.net/Manuals.htm |
