I tried to put my porterfield pads on the rear last nite. I have the 87 turbo coupe rear with the disc brakes. I know you are supposed to screw the piston back into the caliper. I could not do it. I had the caliper in my hand with a spanner that matched the slotts. Could not get it too budge.
Question 1: which direction do you turn these to screw them back in?
Question 2: is there anything you gotta do to make them release. ( there was no tension on the brake cable.)
Question 3: Am i going to have to remove them and put them in a vice? AND use the ARMSTRONG method.
I replaced the pads on a subaru once did not have this big a problem.
Thanks in advance, (Advance, NC)
