What i did for winding the calliper was get a couple of bits of flat bar, measured the distance between the holes then drilled one bit of flat bar and put 2 bolts through and nuts on the other end, i then welded a bit of flat bar from the centre of flat bar and used a shifter on it. If that makes any sense :)

Well i never bothered with the rebuild in the end, I just took the calipers off, took the handbrake spring off and gave the levers a good workout, they are completely easy to move now and then I adjusted those levers as per the workshop manual. Mine lock solid now bang on the 3rd click of the handbrake and both together. I will rebuild another set of calipers I have another day. The one thing I did notice is that one of the handbrake lever bearings in the caliper has a lot of play so may see if those are still available and replace it. Shame to get rid of that caliper as its rust free and works very good. Thats the beauty of jap imports.
