I am in the process right now of installing some ebc greens and need a little help on the rear. I have read something about using some needle nose pliers.... could some one give me a little more detail. I found a link for pics but it doesnt work anymore.

Any help would be greatly appreicated.
thanks

You're refering to pushing the piston back? Put the tips needle nose pliers into the two holes in the piston and push and turn clockwise.

Sometimes it can be a real pain. I bought the tool that makes it easier.

There is a specific spanner to use to seat the rear pistons...but on 92-2000, one can slide by with decent sized needle nose pliers...just be CAREFUL not to slip and damage the piston or dust boot while turning the piston CLOCKWISE to reseat it.

Good luck...call me if you want to yak about it....317-402-9013
