[QUOTE="EDDYSW20, post: 1063424116, member: 82421"] Dear guys, As you're aware, our lovely MR2 rear brake calipers have a self adjusting piston. These piston will readjust for the handbrakes as the brake pad wears off.... So, today I replaced the rear brake pad, discs and caliper from the 245. The best part is the tool I manufactured using a thick PVC pipe to readjust the piston back in. I thought it would be nice to share some photos..... For info, rear piston need to be [U]turned[/U] in, while the front needs to be [U]pushed[/U] in. Its a simple pipe, with castlings cut to fit into the pistons groove, and another end having slots for a screwdriver to add some 'grip'. Just turn the pipe, and the piston turns in.... without using pliers or wrenches or damaging the rubber boot!! I totally loved it..... Tool pakai buang!! Photo shows the pipe slotted into the old caliper (already rosak one). [/QUOTE]
