How else to you push the caliper pistons back in when you put new pads on it? Thats how its been done since they cam out with Disc brakes. If you have crunge in there you have other problems to deal with. Never hurt my ABS brakes and I have done them 6 times on my Saturn...4 wheel Disc brakes with ABS and traction control...never an issue.
