I like the idea of the lisle socket - thanks John. I'll find one somewhere.
I had no problem getting old ones off, installation was the problem.
What I ended up doing, was to take an old, damaged torque wrench and filing a slot out of the handle end. I got a box wrench over the nut and used this makeshift tool to turn the piston. I can't say that it worked "well", but it worked well enough to get them prett tight. I think the lisle socket will allow me to tighten it up to specs. I'm surprised Bently didn't mention this socket. I don't think it can be done correctly without something like that.
I'm hoping the rear will be easier. It looks easier from the description in Bentley
