Directions from manual state : Rotate the parking brake lever on caliper to pull back piston.
Exactly HOW does one accomplish the above on a 2014 RS SM???

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Pads
Remove nut on parking brake arm. Remove cable, pull arm off. Rotate arm a few degrees clockwise. Slip over shaft. Turn counterclockwise. Piston should retract enough to slip pads in. If not, repeat. If that is not enough, remove caliper. Leave brake line alone. See two small holes in piston face. Insert standard needle nose pliers in those holes, and turn piston clockwise until it is flush with caliper. Insert pads, button it up.
Any questions, call me. Joe

Thank you so much for the explanation, I'm not overly impressed with the directions in the green manuals:bowdown::bowdown::clap:
