[QUOTE="WVUAnt, post: 7625577, member: 52472"] You can use a C Clamp...no problems there...or even a large set of channel locks. Whatever you use, make sure you have something like a block of wood to compress against the piston. Grabbing the corner of the piston with a C-clamp is a big no-no. You want to compress the piston evenly. Also, if you have already disassembled both sides, make sure you but another block of wood or something in the 2nd caliper while compressing the original. You don't want to cause any damage to the 2nd caliper. When doing brakes...the rule of thumb is do 1 side first, then move to the other side. You are less prone to mistakes and can always look at the other side if you have questions. [/QUOTE]
