I have rebuilt corvette calipers several times, but never Porsche. - WindyCityS4 2005-05-04 12:03:31 (146 views)

When removing old pistons, can I just grab them with some pliers and pull? - O.W. Kenobi 2005-05-04 12:06:40 (147 views)

No pliers! - Another Drew 2005-05-04 12:19:48 (143 views)

or just remove the calipers and pump the brake couple times ;p - lemieux 2005-05-04 12:30:37 (119 views)
