    So my passenger rear caliper is leaking on my 06, after fighting the parking brake cable for a bit I got it off. Now before I go tango with the new one what is the write way for putting that cable back on the caliper?

    Also any tips on what tool to use to compress the rear calibers? One of them universal blocks with the prongs do an ok job?

    Those blocks suck. I bought a caliper tool because I do brakes so often. I've used needle nose and a screwdriver to get the cable in before.
