Rear brake pad change - HELP!

[Jake_197]

Hi chaps.
I'm midway through changing my rear brake pads, but I cannot get the pistons back in.
Been trying for a good hour now, twisting them clockwise but they just will not budge!
HELP PLEASE!
Jake

push in at the same time as twisting

I had exactly the same problem. Afraid you need to go get a wind in tool & then you can do both sides in 10 mins!

I got there in the end! Just about. Lol.
Used a g clamp to compress it, whilst using an angle grinder spanner to turn it.
Sounds a bit dodgy, but it was fine.
Just couldn't compress it enough with my hands! Haha

i use big swan necks. G clamps are a common way to do it though!

You can pick up the tool for not much money in halfrauds mate, that way future changes can be done quicker
