Last time I was the piston back was when I installed the calipers all those months back. this time, I didn't need to do it as I was able to wiggle outer pad back in. Has taken about 9 months to a year to reset. Now that is a real Scandinavian winter job. This time I just did the setting procedure, rather than a full piston withdrawl and reset. Can't understand why it didn't work that way when I first added the new calipers, but a year later they set perfectly and the handbrake has never felt better. -- Carl Robson (The poster formerly known as Skodapilot) http://www.bouncing-czechs.com
