Wreck It Ralph:
Remember when you first started working on your Fiero and something kicked your butt and then sometime later someone showed you a trick to do it easier, better, or faster?

I need these tips for the newsletter. i want to do one per month. So give me all you got and i will archive them for future newsletters.

When changing rear brake pads, do NOT turn the pistons

That one requires a bit of explanation, since the Fiero Store sells a tool explicitly made for turning the rear caliper piston, to retract it. But a (I think) better way to retract it is to remove the e-brake lever and push the piston in. What you must NEVER do is push the piston in with the e-brake lever in place.

Wreck It Ralph:
Is that on all years?

84-87 for sire, not sure about the 88 (Steve?)......

The factory service manual says to push the pistons in with pliers,  the Fiero Store tool might be needed to rebuild the calipers
