front disc pads - pushing pistons back

Post by pc13cb92 » Sat May 03, 2014 9:16 pm

Hi,
put new pads on the front today, followed fact sheet from memebers area, and was easier than I anticipated. To push the pistons back I used my motorcycle valve spring compressor and a flat bar. An upturned plastic storage box was the right height to sit the caliper on without straining the brake flexi, and the pistons pushed back with no problems!
Going to do the rear disc pads next week.
