just remeber to take the lid off the resevoir so the fluid has somewhere to go , wrap a rag around its throat incase of spillage

can it be wound in with without the tool ,does ti just need screwing in

you need to screw and push at the same time it is a real pain in the ass i had to ring Bill and get him to tell me as i tried turning it for an hour

 

[stoneyfordNI]

you might be able to fabricate something up , piece of metal plate or something , and use that , any friendly garages local , that would lend you theirs for a bit , thats what i done for mine

 

[bentaw]

i did it with the end of a hammer and a giant spanner my mate pushed the hammer into the piston as i turned the piston with the spanner and when pushing it you need to put your whole body weight behind it

or just buy the right tools for the job for £20

it's not like brakes are something you want to f*ck up

 

[bentaw]

but as Mork said it would be a whole lot easier doing it with the right tool i would have brought the tool but i started my brakes at half 8 on a sat night so know where was open
