I dunno if they'll be the same where they meet the caliper but they'll be the same where the hose meets the steel pipe, could swap the caliper and hose onto the car to pop it out.Or see if you can up the pressure on the air line. ________________________________________ My GTi6 track projectWhite Rallye project |

Pretty sure all the calipers I've had, Pug and Brembo, are all standard M10 thread. My new ones were siezed, just attached it to the car, put g-clamps over the un-siezed pistons and pushed the pedal, had the piston out in seconds  ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |
