If you don't have the Kelsey Hayes Caliper you might need some wierd
tool to take off a part of the caliper (or maybe it's the spring)

I have a 84 (manufactured 83) and i have the KH one.. It's reaaaaallly
easy to do =)

 As far as the "piston compressor tool" I just used a wood C-Clamp.

 It worked great and i had it done really quick ;P
