right decided to fit new pads myself, all was going well until now.

there are 4 ring bits that you need to push in so i can get the new pads on, the firs 3 pushed in straight away, however the 4th isnt budging....


anyone have any idea how i get this one pushed in???


cheers

do you require my help for this?

Ring bits. Do you mean the pistons (pots) that push on the back of the brake pad?

Not sure if they have to be turned back in or just pushed. If the others just pushed back you can use something (Large screwdriver) as a lever, but remember to protect the disc from gouges. If they are turn back then it could mean caliper off.

Or if this is not the problem then please ignore my mad ramblings.
