Got around to putting rotors and pads on today ... need to do a Jimmy Fallon "Thank You" note to Ford ...

"Piano starts playing ..."

Thank you Ford ... for designing an awesomely fun and reliable Mustang GT, and putting on those TRW rear calipers on that are near impossible to twist back in yourself ... unless you take them off and put on a vise, engage the emergency brake function and then push/twist back in ...

Rediculous ...
 
That's about the normal on newer cars lol. All you need to do is rent the tool to TWIST while you compress them and their a piece of cake
 
Changed out my alternator (that makes 3 now) and now my battery is dead. I hate this car lol.
 
What else is involved in the 6060 swap? Trans, clutch, driveshaft, and shifter.
 
:yes

Happened to me when I was replacing the rear brakes. Got the tool and it was cake.

Having the right tool for the job is a beautiful thing.
Wasn't a lack of tools ... I put 30 turns on that thing and the piston barely moved. Had to take the caliper off and vise it, then do as I described above ... only on one side, passenger side worked fine on the car.
