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? |
