Replying to: kyfdx (Mar 03, 2008 1:09 pm) Anyone changing a Mc Pherson strut had better know what they are doing special tool or not. A flying spring can bust a guys head like a melon. Almost as much fun as the old split rims could be. I've seen it all and it isn't pretty! |

Replying to: jmonroe (Mar 02, 2008 7:03 pm) Have had Hondas and a Nissan with this screw-in type thing in rear. Have always got by with pliers. Trick is to advance maybe 2 segments, then retreat 1 segment. This will keep the rubber from getting fouled up. Has always worked for me. This works for first pad replacement. Next time pads need replacement, I replace calipers and rotor.

Replying to: xrunner2 (Mar 03, 2008 4:22 pm) But WHY? Calipers almost never cause trouble and if the rotors are within specs, why replace them? |

Replying to: xrunner2 (Mar 03, 2008 4:22 pm) I'm not so sure I'd be good at "2 steps forward, one step back", was never all that good with math. I'll stick with the tool designed for the job. Plus it gives me the excuse to buy another tool.  jmonroe
