Title: brake pads
Post by: Shaq on May 01, 2004, 01:44:43 PM
wish i had never started this....

but i have bought new disks and pads and i thought i would start on the rear i took the disk as well as the caliper off, but I cant seem to push back the piston far enough to install the new pads

I have tried everything to push it back but no luck, I don’t have the handbrake on and I have released some brake pressure by unscrewing the bleed nipple…..


Any ideas?
