Instead of the long shaft that's used in a multi-cylinder car engine, there is a single hub -- all of the piston's connecting rods connect to this hub. One rod is fixed, and it is generally known as the master rod. The others are called articulating rods. They mount on pins that...
The pressure differential valve is the device that alerts you if you have a leak in one of your brake circuits. The valve contains a specially shaped piston in the middle of a cylinder. Each side of the piston is exposed to the pressure in one of the two brake circuits. As long as th...
If you have the non-integrated brake caliper, install an old brake pad as a buffer between the tool and the caliper piston(s). Use a large "C" clamp or channel locks to press the caliper piston(s) inward until fully retracted.
