-

-

Right quick update of the original post about aceperformance1999 he does no ship worldwide, i recieved a message eventually from him stating this.
Thats a shame really as in his listing he clearly said he does…
One to avoid i think...
-
Report this guy to ebay for an inaccurate listing, if he doesn't want to sell to us then he shouldn't say he will :evil:
-
already in the process of dealing with that mate but ive not had to much luck with it to be honest seems ebay dont give a hoots..well you get the impression..

Hello all, right my new disc's and pads have turned up yesterday, (thank god), not a prob for me to fit really just have one small question for the techies…lol..
on the front calipers the piston just pushes back in...YES/NO
and on the rears they screw back in YES/NOthanks in advance
Neil...

You are correct the front pushes in, and the rears screw in clockwise.
Some times pays to draw some fluid from the brake resivoir other wise it overflows. :D
-
Mechanic will i need some sort of special tool to wind the rears back in as it says in my manual mate or is there a cheat way lol…
-
fronts are push in
rears are wined in
-
there is a special tool but some times you can wined them back in usweing the edge of a screwdriver
-
yes to both man dont try "force" the rear they twist back nice and easily
and the piston wind back tool is only €20
-
I always use a pair of pointed nose plyers to wind my calipers back in.
Or a disc spanner fron an angle grinder. The 2 pins on that seem to fit in most cars I work on :D
