Easy and fast way to push the pistons back in using a simple 8inch pair of pliers.

I also open up the bleed valve so the fluid goes out instead of back into the system.
Then follow with a full bleed or flush.

Replacements seem to be Torx, size T55

Done and SOLID. What a great easy project. I did manage to break one of the "wear sensors" but I already had new ones on the way so that will be an easy hookup once they get here. This project can save you TONS of $$ from what the shops will charge you. Go to Suncoast or Pelican and purchase the new rotors and pads and get after it.
