Compressing Brake Pistons

[l_uk3y]

Hey there

Tried searching but am not finding quite what im after

Im in the process of installing Slotted DBA4000's rotors, the new Rotor is in place and am in a position where removing the brake pads is only a 30 second job away.

Before I can go any further I need to be able to compress the brake pistons to allow the pads to clear the new rotors. Is there any good tricks I can use to do this or will I require a specific tool (one of those clamp tools im seeing on youtube?). Also before I compress the pistons I'm guessing I'll need to release the pressure at the master cylinder or something like that?

Any help would be great.

Thankyou

Luke

Just take the lid of the brake fluid reservoir, then use a G-Clamp:

to compress the piston.
