  HI I am looking for some information, I need to replace my rear pads but am having trouble pressing the pistons back, any help ? I did wonder if the pistons needed wound back or should they just push back with a " bit of persuasion " much appreciated ..  Duncan

Pistons should push back with reasonable effort, I normally use a big pair of pipe pliers or a g clamp. If they're seized give them a clean and a spray with release oil and work them out and in to free them off. Hopefully that should work, failing that they need replaced.

cheers,
            Stevie.

Thanks Stevie will possibly get the chance tonight....    Duncan

       Got them both freed off , but had to strip them down , lube them up and put them in the vice to get them freed off . put it all back together , bled the system and the job is a " good un " Cheers Duncan ..
