Hello All,
Are there any tid bits of info you can offer me on getting the brake piston back into the caliper to put a thicker (new) pad in? Bently says i need a special tool to "turn the piston clockwise and then push the piston back in" Is this do-able with out the saab tool? Where may i find one of these tools and how much are they. My trusty/rusty turbo has taken me 270,000 mi and i'm not going to let the brakes do it in! would a spanner wrench work or should i go for the real deal?? anyone who has done front brakes of this nature please ( 85-87) feel free to inlighten me. thanks saabnet!!!
85 t 16v 270,000
