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...

Use sandpaper and a wire brush to clean all the mating surfaces, paying special attention to the hub face, hub centre, and brake pad carrier. If the rust is extreme, use a chisel. To prevent future corrosion, apply high-temperature paint to the brake caliper and frame after cleaning....
8. If you have the integrated rear caliper parking brake arrangement you will need to use a caliper reset tool which is shown below, this reset tool will help screw the piston back into the caliper, (clockwise). These calipers cannot be compressed with a clamping tool, it can only be ret...
