Wait did you say that the rear pistons have to be rotated back into the caliper? they can't just be pushed in?

Because of the parking brake they must be rotated back into the caliper.

bleeding brakes sucks without a friend...all i gotta say


...everything else was cake. except for the part where i learned that the parking break engages the rear pistons, instead of a shoe setup as I was expecting...lol
