ok, now that you have mentioned it, and before i take the old
ones out... how do you get the pistons (new ones) back in?

if they are that difficult perhaps i should leave things alone.
i hate to do that since the rubber bits on the calipers are gone
and everything else i have taken apart on this car so far has
needed refurbishing.
