[Roadsters] Calipers

[JH Bahn]

The needle is fragile and is susceptible to bending and binding - handle 
carefully.  also, be extremely cautious blowing the piston out with 
compressed air - if it is sticking or a little corroded or rusty it can come 
lying out with extreme force.  Even if it doesn't hit you, it  will ricochet
