Featured Replies

hey guys i've had a look in the guides etc, but cant seem to find an answer.

when replacing disks/pads all round, am i going to need a piston retraction tool? if so is it just the normal cross affair on the piston orsomething else?

cheers

oh and if so, is it a left or right handed thread?

Yes you 'need' the tool for the rear pistons, (it can be done without, but it's sooo much easier with the correct tool)

They are a normal R/H thread
