Hello,
This is for a 2008 Grande Punto Abarth with standard brembo brake assembly.
I had to replace my brake discs as they were worn out. Since I like to learn and do things myself, I thought it would be a good occasion. Front was not a problem. Passenger rear took a bit of convincing, but I was able to push the piston in enough to put the assembly back on with the piston tool.
On the driver side rear however, the piston won't push back in. I have the e-learn CD for the grande punto. The only thing I did not do was disassemble the center console to release the ebrake cable.
Is it the ebrake cable that is giving me issues? Because I have tried everything so far. Opened the master cylinder reservoir while trying to push the piston in to no avail. Then tried to open the bleeder screw a little but same results. Now the piston won't even turn either way...ebrake is not on.
Would appreciate some advice as I can't put the disc/assembly back on so I can't even take it to the garage :bang:
Thanks in advance!
