Technical Brake Caliper Piston - Rewinding Surprise

[Moneyfool]

Before changing the discs today I researched which way to rewind the rear brake caliper pistons back in.

eLearn stated anticlockwise and numerous threads mentioned anticlockwise on the passenger side and clockwise on driver's (in theory follow the rotation of the wheel if car going forward).

Driver's side went well but on the passenger side after having the b****y piston fall out I found that it too screwed in clockwise.

Moral - don't believe everything you read!!

Thanks for the info.































Just imagining the look on your face, and the comments

Those Fiat guys, what a sense of humour

Just in case there are differences across the range, my observation above was on TRW calipers as fitted on the Prestigio with the ventilated discs 292mm dia.
