Hi! I am attempting front brakes on my wife's 1985 Saab 900S. I have done front pads and rotors on VW's and other cars, however the SAAB is the first one that I have seen with a FRONT emergency brake mechanism. I have "turned in" the caliper piston with a home-made spanner wrench; however it appears that I still need to collapse the "other" side of the caliper. Should I continue cranking in the piston to "pull in" the other side? Any thoughts would be hugely appreciated. Smitty
