Seems to be a few posts of people asking how to change the rear pads on the stilo, finding it difficult due to the pistons needing to be turned while pushed in.
Lots of funny looking "special" tools being suggested in posts too
Having changed mine i found the easiest method to get the piston to retract is by having two people one to turn the piston using a pair of plumbers grips and the other person(wife, mate, whoever) to tap repeatedly on the centre of the piston using a half inch drive extension bar roughly 200mm long or other suitable metal bar placed on the centre of the piston and tapping the end of it with a hammer gently as you turn the piston with the grips. Using this method the piston should move in very easily.
Remembering that the drivers side(UK) piston needs to be turned clockwise and the passenger side needs to be turned anti-clockwise.
Hope this helps any one struggling.
