as above are these calipers windback?
was just wondering for when i change pads for mot, as to how easy getting pistons back in,
best thing to use like a clamp or actual piston tool etc obviously just to make the job as easy as poss

 

Yeah front just press in, just remember to release the resovoir cap and best to do one side at a time so as not to push the other pistons out

 

They are push back pistons and are quite easy to push back. Just watch your fluid level.

 

yeah i know the small bleed nipple just wondered how easy they would go back in thats all

 

hopefully no need for any special tools then just a bit brute force lol

 

you dont open the bleed nipple just open the brake fluid cap in the engine bay saves you having to bleed your brakes

 

DONT open the bleed nipple or you will have to bleed your brakes. You shouldn't touch them. Just remove the brake fluid cap in your engine bay. It's to the left of your intercooler. It's the square looking one NOT the round one. Then just push your pads back with a large flat screw driver making sure you don't mark your discs.

 

As above, open the cap to the brake fluid reservoir above the master cylinder.

I pressed mine back in using water pump, (slip-jointed), pliers and a bit of rag to avoid marking owt.

 

If they are reluctant to budge using a flat surface, then get some thick folded cloth round the back of the caliper (so as not to knacker it) and use a small G-clamp. Not sure if there'd be enough space to get the clamp onto the pistons though, when trying this method.
