I got the rear callipers off. I can compress the piston clossest to me when installed. By adjusting the nut and set screw. How do I compress the other piston? Thanks guys!

You can take a trip and never leave the farm... errrrr club. Ron's link was to my resource thread... this one link to the "how-to" thread.

Dave is spot on (as usual). You're probably missing the gear. Hopefully you have one in the other caliper. Stick a 4mm hex in there and pull it out to use on the one you need it on. Otherwise, Performance Products has them in their latest catalog for $25.00 I "TOO OFTEN" get cores in without these. I'm looking at a $500 order if I can't get my other supplier off his (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/bootyshake.gif)

The 308 caliper is "almost" identical to the 914-6/GT. The bleeders are on the wrong end. They would be on the "bottom" if mounted on a 914. We can do a bleeder mod to make them work. In fact... there's supposed to be a pair on the way for just that mod. It would then have dual bleeders like the later model 914 calipers. I'll keep y'all posted on the repair. It'll be good to see someone sawzall a 308 and put the parts on a teener (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)
