I am unclear on this set up but I have use the clamp move for going on 20yrs and have had great luck. This time it would not work so I went and got the tool ($11 kragen and it is a piece of shit but worked) and they both screwed back in <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="frown.gif" /> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>HungryHippo</b> <br /><small>Member # 537</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2003,3,28,21,36,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> no, you dont use a clamp unless you want to break something. the rear discs need a special tool that rotates the piston into the caliper. some people use pliers but it is a pain. <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
