Hi Guys.
I have a 1.9 JTD Grande Punto and will be changing the pads and discs for the first time since I've had the car this weekend but I need some help!
I changed the pads on my friends 1.4 TJET Bravo yesterday after failing miserably for hours to realise that the nearside caliper piston needed to be wound in anti clockwise WHILST being pushed in hard to get it to retract. Fiat said the offside was standard wind in clockwise, however it again was anti clockwise whilst pushing down hard on the piston.
BEFORE I do my Punto I would like to know if this is the same case on the rear before I start doing this job. Are the calipers sided or are they left hand thread or right hand, whilst Im asking, are the fronts wind back or push back.
Had a search cant find anything already posted!
Cheers guys!!
Tom
