    NOTE:
    • Do Not hammer on the piston or pry directly against piston face using a screwdriver to push in piston.
    • How to use the SST (09581-2T100)
    1. Connect an air hose (B) to the SST after confirming that the valve of the SST is securely closed.
    2. Insert the SST into the caliper and press the caliper piston while opening the valve of the SST slowly by turning it counterclockwise.
    3. Close the valve (A) of the SST and disconnect the air hose (B); then, open the valve again to get the rest of air out and remove the SST from the caliper.
