Rear calipers rebuild kits and how tos

[Alan_M]

The special tool is only a socket with the sides cut-out. Means you can squish it all up in a G-clamp, as I found it tricky putting the shaft back in (along with lining up the spring and cam) with a big pair water pump pliers.

Out of the three sets I've stripped down, all showed wear on parts of the handbrake mechanism (either the piston screw shaft, handbrake lever shaft or both). I had to make good pair out of three including new bushes in the caliper body.
