Retract caliper piston using the new Kent Moore Tool J-39730 attached to Kent Moore Tool J-22269-01. After retraction, make sure the grooves
in the end of the piston are lined up in a vertical position to accept the inner pad retainer (See Figure 7 and 8).

Right Rear Caliper: Tighten J-22269-01 and rotate piston clockwise using a 5/8" wrench on the hex section of J-39730. Each time J-39730
is rotated, J-22269-01 must be retightened to keep pressure on the piston.
b.
Left Rear Caliper: Use same procedure as (a) above, except that J-39730 must be rotated counter clockwise.
NOTE:
To retract the caliper piston, continuous pressure must be applied on the piston using J-22269-01.
