    The purpose of the notches on the rear calipers is because to the compress the piston it screws in on this model ford. There is a tool for it or you can use a spammer wrench for a grinder. These types are not suppose to be compressed with a clamp.

      Correct! Just wondering because He made it work by using just the clamp 🗜 😃

      I’m glad I saw your comment. The video gave me confidence to keep trying with the clamp but I knew something wasn’t right . Bad video.

      ​If you notice it was actually not working. Then he conveniently cuts the video and starts back in once he was done. Never actually showing him compressing it. Guaranteed during the cut out portion he realized he was doing it wrong and that the piston has to rotate. He just completely doesn't mention it like nothing ever happened ​@@kencane4182

    Love how you completely cut the video when trying to compresss the caliper piston. Magically the video restarted ince it was done. Also magically you FORGOT TO MENTION YOU WERE DOING IT WRONG BY NOT ROTATING THE PISTON.
    Instead of admitting you did it wrong and that the caliper has to be rotated to compress it.(Which you were not doing in the video prior to the cut. You were just pushing and that only works on front.)
    You used the magic of editing which cut out your entire mistake while you figured out how to do it properly then cur back in at conpletion without saying anything about your error.
    So conveniently pathetic.
    But hey buddy when you do an online video tutorial make sure you explain one of the most important steps so people will actually know what to do. Instead of editing the video to cover up an error, and saying nothing, just to not bruise your own ego. Because if they try what you were doing it will never work and a heap of problems will arise.
