Thanks...
for the help guys, I got it all squared away the other day.
For the archives, and if anyone cares, the issue I was having was that I wasn't turning the piston enough. I was apprehensive about turning it to far, don't know why I was I supposed I was just being careful.
It was necessary to turn the piston clockwise, both left and right caliper, at least 25 revolutions to fully compress the piston. At the same time, if you don't have the fancy Snap-On tool you must apply quite a load to the piston as you turn.
So, don't be afraid to turn and push on that piston!
Thanks for the help. Now to enjoy my ECS stage 3 kit at the track this weekend.
