very good idea. i only wish i had a spare legend shell that i could strip for parts, the best being a JDM one with all the bells and whistles.

hahaha dude next time to push the calipers in just use the old pads as a panel to push back

You need to twist the piston as it pushes in on the rear calipers.

I thought you only need those for the fronts as the rears are a + plated face - i tried a big G clamp on my old car, no dice

just put the brake pad on top of the piston and use the G clamp to push it down :)

no that could damage the system, thats like tightening a bolt by just hammering it down onto the thread.
so by just pushing it back in you damage the scroll gear connected to the piston.

if you were to keep doing it eventually i would imagine you will have rear brake issues, like the hand brake not activating properly or the pads will keep recessing too far away from the discs so the rear brakes will be doing much less braking and more travelling.

rears need to be turned because it turns when the handbrake is pulled. so by just pshing it back in you damage the scroll gear connected to the piston.

Felt like compression testing the car today

PSI

Pretty happy, but worried about the variances



And



Small update
Have been losing brake fluid since i bought the car
As once a fortnight i'd need to fill up the reseviour - it'd be on the low line
But 2 months ago it would be once a week i'd need to fill up
And recently it was daily
So yesterday i bought a 2nd hand brake line for $35 and replaced my front left brake line
No more leaks

Honda were asking $150 for both front rubber lines and 4 weeks shipping
... Add another $100 and you got braided lines haha
