Caliper piston insertion force?
Full rebuild on all four calipers for my 964. I installed 7 pistons by hand with relative ease and then had several balk on me. Rather than tear something up, I thought I'd stop by and see how much force others have had to use to get these bits together.
I'm using factory rebuild kits, ATE Plastilube, and verify that the pistons fit into the bore before putting in the seals and attempting final install.
Do I just need more juice? (My manly forearms will be so chagrined...)
TIA!
