Good story!

Having just experienced the Porsche brake challenge myself, I feel your pain. I did have a flare nut wrench though and at some point in time God deposited the perfectly shaped rubber thingy for the air nozzle in my junk drawer. I still spent about 2 hours per caliper getting the rear pistons out. I didn't have the haz-mat spill issues, but I haven't put 'em back on the car yet. That said, been there, done that. The front calipers are sitting on the garage floor mocking me. I'm going to attack those this weekend.

The beer thing...that's so sad. I love the mental picture of you with your head on the work bench.

So, when are you going to do the other calipers?
