rear disc brake piston problemo
ive figured out by now that you are supposed to screw them back in to compress them, but what i am wondering is wouldnt twisting the piston around make that boot that surrounds it rip and tear apart????????? i dont wanna break the damn thing???

Re: rear disc brake piston problemo (beseman)
I was designed to work that way so it shouldn't tear. Just make sure your brake resevoir cap is off when reversing pressure in the brake line. If you don't take the cap off you can damage your master cylinder.

ditto. had no problems with the boot. while you have it out, you might want to think about greasing the pins on the caliper.
