rear brake caliper piston
 

changing rear brake pads and rotors, have come into to strife getting the piston to retract, pretty sure its not the push and twisty one, have tried undoing the bleed valve, the bolt at back which i was told was the handbrake adjustment and undone the hand brake cable with no success. Anyone had similar problems getting caliper piston to retract? any help would be very appreciated thanks

Undo the 14mm bolt in the back and use an allen key on the bolt inside. There are probably posts with pics.

thank you immensely cosmo dude i owe u hugely

also i just adjusted handbrake back on by screwing alen key, is this the way to do it or can you just pump the brake pedal?

sorry to bring up an old thread but does the allen key screw need adjusting when fitting a new caliper on the rear?iv noticed i have no handbrake after swapping mine over today

yes.

cool thankyou project r

will get onto that tomorrow before i drive it

this thread has helped me too, thanks all for posting.

Trying to eliminate some brake drag on the left rear. Fingers crossed my caliper piston isn't shot and slide pins just needed lubing.
