Hey, is there an easier way on how to compress the pistons in the cobra brake caliper so itll fit onto the rotor with the new pads installed? im using vice grips and it still wont go on/compress down all the way.

if anyone knows what im talking about or has any info, let me know cause i need to install them.

I'd go to autozone (or a similar store). They have a device to compress the brakes pistons down. Makes it much easier. :nice:

It might be too late but what I like to do is use my old brake pads with my C-clamps. Just keep the old back pad on there and use the c-clamp through one of the holes in the caliper. That way it presses the two pistons more evenly.
