Whats your method for?!?!?!?!

I DID do a couple searches, but I know that someone is still gonna come post a link to the one thread I couldn't find, lol.

Anyways, my question is for you guys that have changed your own brake pads. What is your method/what do you use to push the pistons back in? Ive only done brake pads on my old civic and you could basically push that in with your hand, lol. So I just want some ideas on how you guys get the pistons pushed back in.

Ive seen a couple threads where guys are looking for the Brembo Brake stickers. I found a website, www.xenonmods.com. Seems like its a small company, but great c/s and shipping was awesome. If you guys need the Brembo stickers this is def the place to get em.

Thanks in advance for the help.

dammit...knew it would happen. Thanks.

One question I had about this way of doing it was I heard its possible to push the piston in crooked or something along those lines? Would that be possible?

I did the front brakes on my evo a couple months ago, you kinda have to muscle the pistons back in as you go along. Also, make sure you put the lube on the rails where the brakes slide back and forth.
