You know what they say about our assuming things.
I assumed that the '12 Accord would have a little drum inside the hat to provide for a parking/emergency brake, like every proper car, Subarus for example.
Wrong. It has instead the PITA setup which uses mechanical actuation of the pads for this purpose, just like the Gen 6.
Are there any inexpensive tools that will allow one to turn the piston while pushing it back in?
The piston has a head like an enormous Philips head screw, so I could envision a tool that engages the head that has a couple of feet extending to the other side of the piston bore and can be turned with a ratchet and maybe an extension.
Anyone have any suggestions?
