Toga Toga Toga!
When I see the caller ID of a few select customers I will answer the phone here at work as "Toga Party Central" One of them came over once recently and asked were the party was. I told him now that he is here we are set. I showed him the beer in the fridge and the 10 lbs of peanuts we have on hand for munchies. Then he just ordered a boring aerial of a 9 square mile chunk of Oklahoma. It was a boring toga party, but profitable. Good Tuesday morning folks.

Morning all. I succeeded in smoking out the garage after 5 months of sitting idle the 911 cranked right up and blew crap all over the kids Rav4.
Now to attempt the brakes. Stupid question but what is the funny 20 degree gauge thing for?

When rebuilding calipers, you align the pistons as shown below...

Don't think I need to do that but the pads are up for replacement.

Yeah, the notches in the piston help you align the bugger.

The rebuild of the calipers was something I found to be easy. I made a gauge and rebuild them with no issues. It helps to read all the tech articles in the tech section on Pelican for ideas. I used just a little air pressure to pop the piston out. Very little pressure!
Get everything very clean and then cleaner yet. After several years they are working fine so I guess I did it right. Also get the lubricant for re-assembly.

That's how I approached the caliper rebuild, too.
