Re: caliper pistons



    Thye12mm hex is used to retract the rear caliper's piston. You may be
able to find a set of the previously mentioned "triple square" or 12 point
wrenches at an auto supply house. Lisle makes a good set for about $8-10.
You can reverse the wrench and use the hex end of it in the caliper.

To retract the piston by screwing it in (clockwise).  You have to do this
when you put on new pads.  What method did you use?
