vtrdaz:
I'm about to renew the front disk's on my 90 - what the best way to compress the pistons back into there bores.
I've seen tools for sale - if that's the better way , whats a good tool?

Cheers

I agree, however, your can use pliers or water pump pliers to start. Clamp between pad and edge on caliper. Loosens pad at same time  ;)

I use water pump plyers if I can that way I don't have to lever against the disk.
