Changing rear brake pads on HGT, help please!!

[Bravo-Dan]

How the hell does that piston go back, ive tried levering it, screwing it, and both at the same time, it seems to be coming out more and more.

Help please

Thanks,

Dan

there was a thread on this not more than a week ago Dan.

The consensus was to save yourself the hassel of using a vice etc, and just buy the specified tool for the job. Meant to pick one up from Halfords myself too in expectation.

just buy the tool, £20 saves so much time and stops you chewing up the piston.

i just put mine in the vice worked a treat

well I finished last night, I thought it was only going to take me an hour, but I didnt have a 7mm allen key so for the front I had to take calipers off, and the rear I didnt have a tool to screw the piston back, so I used welders clamps and some grips, it was hard tryin not to catch the rubber boot, thank god its over cheers guys
