There is a tool to insert to prevent it from moving when bleeding one end before the other. RPOLS3 has gone thru this recently and bought the tool. The way I avoid this, is by gravity bleeding all 4 corners before pedal/pressure bleeding.
We messed around with this yesterday...not much progress. My buddy took the valve off the car and tried to get the piston centered...i think he damaged it in the process. He has ordered a new valve....

So...when he does the install....should he just do the gravity bleed process you describe..?? Will he need the tool to hold the piston in position.?? If so, who is the best source for that gizmo.

Thanks...wilma
