Steve,

Thanks for the tip. My hand is a bit stiff from all of the turning, do you
know if Kragen/Pep Boys/Auto Zone/other sells the caliper resetting tool or
must I buy it from the dealer?

Thanks, Richard

Autozone didn't have one. The Advance Auto Parts did, for $6.

If you have antilock brakes you may need to open the bleeder to get it
back in.

I use the kind that looks like a cube with different pin layouts on each
face. It fits on the end of an extention and you can push/turn with a
ratchet. Opening the bleeder is also helpful, especially if it has ABS. I
have had tough ones that required a special tool that pushes harder than
you can by hand but if it's that bad off, the caliper isn't really working
right.

All,

Once I put a little force behind the turning the caliper reset just fine.
The car is back together and the brakes work great.

Thanks for the help!
