I have not, but I believe you need a special tool for reinstallation.

Maybe check out the workshop manual and see what it says?

I might swing by. I have tons of hand tools but not the caliper piston tool thingy.

Saturday is now open for me, but Sunday is officially closed.

Thanksgiving holidays is starting for wednesday for some of us.

I would jump on this but I need to go to the dealer for a catalytic converter inspection and new spark plugs.

My spark plugs are so bad I can hear them. It sounds like a gurgling noise coming from the center console area if anyone is wondering.

Edit: I might come out if I'm not working/packing/out of town.

I went last year and I plan to attend it again. Great food/cars/people.

I also meet 2 rx8 owners there last time.

I stay out in Katy. What area are you staying at?

You don't sign in here, but most of the people just show up and donate. You could go on to the H-I thread and post that you are coming to the meet. Then they could see how many people are coming, and how much food to buy. Here is the info on the BBQ meet.
