well,i ended up finding a piece of brake line with fitting attached,removed the brake bleeder screw and attached the line.pushed in the calipers in by hand while installing the brake pads at the same time and just let the brake fluid from the line attached drain into a old coffee can...it took some effort,but none the less,it worked..Chris
