I just did all new brakes this past weekend. The fronts were mad easy but the rears where weird. Did anyone know that the rear caliper pistons turned in and out?? they dont compress like the fronts. My friend that works at a BMW dealership as a tech had to point it out to me, he has an 2000 LS Integra that he did a B18C1 motor swap in (thats a GSR) and he says his rear brake caliper pistons were the same way. Well brakes are mint now, all broken in, but when i was first drivin around after, i was with my friend and i was explaining the secondarys to him and he's like "oh yeah? well show me" so im like ok. come to a light with no one around nice straight road, get her in 2nd and told him to hold the **** on to somtin. get up to about 50 mph in second close to like 6000 rpm i think, then BOOM it gets like 2000x louder then i hear scrape bang bang scrape, im like yep i toasted the motor, then im like no wait i just killed my tranny. but the car was still running and moving and the exhaust was sooooo loud and ******. Freaking out, i drove 10 miles home draging my freakin resonater going like 50 mph on back roads trying to get home, all this on Halloween night at like 7-8 pm. Got home checked the damage, turns out i torqued the motor over so hard when i was dippin that it pulled the resonater pipe out of the y pipe that goes to the mufflers. And there was no clamp in sight. so i had my friend help me get the pipe back together, it was overlaping the rear y pipe like 2.5 inches. thats how far the whole motor and exhaust was pulling when i was haulin ass. went and bought a $1 clamp and boom, Fixed. anyways it made for a fun Halloween, and my brakes are mint.
There's a more efficient tool but I didn't happen to purchase it.
