Caliper Compressor

Figure I'd ask this here since it's kinda related. Are the rear Akebonos single or dual piston?

Since your replacing pads/rotors.

Before removing the pins holding in the pads, put your flat head between the rotor and pad, pry outwards, then remove pins, pull out pads, then caliper and so on.

If it's any consolation, after reading this thread, I also bought it this morning (… and I also have three tool chests full of tools). I suspect it will beat fussing with C-clamps.

Let me know when you have grown out of the garage and into the laundry room. I have my stick/tig welder, mig welder and a table saw in there.
