did the brake pads require any tools beyond normal ratchets and what not? cuz the service manual shows some SST for the pistons on the calipers...

ScudRunner: No, you can just grab the piston with a large pair of pliers and spin it...

Ok, they feel awesome! The brake pedal is very firm and the modulation on the brakes is very precise; I am very happy with them... I also bled the complete system with Valvoline DOT 3-4 Synthetic brake fluid... Nice stuff and not to expensive 513 dry and 320 wet boiling points... Will replace with ATE Super Blue Racing once I get the MS clutch line in 536 dry and 392 wet or maybe even Castrol SRF DOT 5.1 590 dry and 518 wet...
