Subject: How do I Collapse Front Brake Calipers - 85' 900S



Hi!

I am attempting front brakes on my wife's 1985 Saab 900S. I have done front
pads and rotors on VW's and other cars, however the SAAB is the first one
that I have seen with a FRONT emergency brake mechanism.

I have "turned in" the caliper piston with a home-made spanner wrench;
however it appears that I still need to collapse the "other" side of the
caliper.

Should I continue cranking in the piston to "pull in" the other side?

Any thoughts would be hugely appreciated.
