I need to know which way to turn the rear brake piston.

Many thanks.

Pinky, do it in increments of 90 degrees and the e brake will go back together with no hassel.

What do you mean by "go back together"?

OMG!!!! You would not believe how hard it was to turn the passenger side caliper. The drivers side was a brease! I was flabergasted at how hard it was to turn. Guess I was glad to get the hard on out of the way first............though it pissed me off to no end.

I not gonna do that again unless I got a better tool to do it with!

There is a little peg on the backing plate that must fit in a grove on the rear piston. It will just go back in every 90 degrees and you don't have to fight it.
