Brakes help/advice



  • 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/NO

    thanks 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
