You need to turn it and keep pressure on the piston, if not you'll spin it all day, i use a g-clamp normally, i turn the piston slowly and try
and tighten the g-clamp as i go. hope this helps.
UNDERSTEER is when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
OVERSTEER is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
HORSEPOWER is how fast you hit the wall.
TORQUE is how far you take the wall with you.

I managed to wind it round (clockwise) with a pair of pliers, but i must have done this thru 10 or more turns and it didnt move in at all?
Do i need to 'lock' the back of the piston to stop the whole thing rotating or has something broke causing it to rotate freely?
Thanks for the offer Andybod, its alittle to far, im going to order one from GSF as its cheaper to buy one then travel to yours (14 mpg makes it
easier to convince myself everything is cheaper to buy lol)
What does the wind in tool look like? is it just a handle that sites into the grooves on the piston, or does it apply pressure to the piston also?
Thanks guys.
