Re: superfour brake trouble
So you'll be replacing the discs I take it? In that case, remove the caliper mounting bolts and use a nylon mallet to firmly tap the caliper. Tap in the middle over the piston housing. That should push the pistons in enough to remove the calipers.
Conventional wisdom says to know your limits. To know your limits you need to find them first. Finding your limits generally involves getting in over your head and hoping you live long enough to benefit from the experience. That's the fun part.
