Any thought on getting it back in? Its a rear caliper for a D2. Thanks.   todd slater (Toddslater) Senior Member Username: Toddslater Post Number: 276 Registered: 08-2002 Posted on Saturday, April 26, 2003 - 05:12 pm:    Big "C" clamp or take the caliper all the way off and use a bench vise...carefully.   Edward Bibb (Heirless) New Member Username: Heirless Post Number: 4 Registered: 04-2003 Posted on Saturday, April 26, 2003 - 10:17 pm:    You may want to bleed the brake as you are Clamping the Caliper. I understand the ABS system can be damaged if pressing pistons as on pre ABS Brakes.   Mud Man (Clarance) Member Username: Clarance Post Number: 47 Registered: 02-2002 Posted on Sunday, April 27, 2003 - 12:47 am:    I have the caliper removed from the truck, I already tried the "C" clamp, no dice. I'll try a bench vise. Thanks
