BA Rear Brakes Removal
Hey All,
Trying to replace my rear pads and couldn't get the caliper off the rotor. Hand brake is off  but cant see how to compress the piston in. On thefronts its easy you can fit the socket extension bar in through the top and push the pads apart but cant do the some on the back. Took the whole rotor off and looked behind and cant see a good access point either. Those that have done it how did you push the piston back in. Ta Mal

'round the back of the caliper is a 14mm bolt that hides an allen key fitting. Turning the allan key thing will pull the piston back. when done tighten the thing until it almost touches. Then refit the 14mm bolt.

Oh also I was going to say turn the piston clockwise and it should screw back in.
