Post by Vortex75 » Wed Feb 25, 2015 5:27 pm

Hey guys, just wondering if anyone knows what tne tool is called that you use to wind the piston back in to the caliper on my brakes? Its a 89 Vortex. Also does anyone know the part number for front brake pads that will fit? Im trying to buy online and need the part number.any pads will do.

DB418 rears ? DB419 fronts - but they are Australian numbers based on Bendix stuff. Numbers change in the US

DB418's for the front so the Bendix site says. DB419's for the rear. I've found those wind back kits too, not keen on spending $120 for a kit when I only need the one size.
