Title: Rear Caliper rewind tool
Post by: Steve Baker on February 09, 2010, 06:48:36 pm

Can anybody confirm for me whether the rear calipers are handed?  I want to replace rear pads but not sure if both calipers rotate clockwise.  If they are handed I think I will need a left hand and right hand rewind tool.  :confused:
