Eric,<br><br>
I've seen this on Fords and I believe that they are usually the rear
calipers? <br><br>
I think this is due to the "ratchetting" action for the
emergency brake. So you <br>
have to undo the fact that the piston has been screwed into the
caliper. The<br>
tool I've seen for this is a cube so I'm assuming there are about 6
standard distances between holes in the piston, and sizes of these
holes.<br><br>
