Hi All,

Happy Thanksgiving ! :-)

I received a rebuilt ATE left rear caliper yesterday and I'm having difficulty rotating the caliper pistons so that the chamfers are oriented at a 20* angle to the lower surface. I'm attempting to do this prior to mounting them on the 245, and I don't have the special tool. The pistons are in there really tight, and I don't want to bugger up the seals.

Any suggestions?

TIA,
John

FYI: I'm doing L&R rear rotors and pads, and replacing the left rear caliper because the old one has a frozen left piston. Rebuild was done in USA.
