Re: Alfa 164 S rear brake pads

[Alan Lambert <gerard@domain.elided>]

After I made a mess of the first try (posted to the list) I told 
everyone how I did it--so did a lot of other digesters--
My way; get some REALLY large channel locks--big enough to go over one 
side of the caliper and the piston--apply pressure (without it, you can 
screw all day, and nothing will happen) and while squeezing, screw the 
caliper in.

luck
