Trying to do the rear pads on the wife's car and I can't get the piston to wind back in - anyone got a brake wind back tool that I can borrow

Thanks

Sorted no thank mate

an unfortunately confusing phrase there, brake wind tool... or is it just me that read it as break wind tool

I have used a G clamp and a block of wood to do this in the past

If they arent seized a pair of radio/snipe nose pliers should do it.

Scenic rear calipers are on a worm drive so it doesn't work like that - other brakes I've normally just used water pump pliers


They'll spin with snipe nose plier but won't wind back - bought a tool from the local motor factors for £25 and took 2-minutes a side to do
