Went to change my rear discs and pads, cant get one of the pistons to compress so I cant put pack on the calliper.
Anyone got any info, needed asap. Its a Seat Toledo (my Daily)

G-clamp????? thats what iv always used, works a treat!
a needle nose pliers is all you need to wined back the piston.
Thats what I've been using but the piston is out the full way and appartently it needs to be turned anti-clockwise as it is being compressed!
Hmmmm tell me more!Quote:

Just tried that, there's no budging it that way. Is there a possibility the thing could be seized?:confused:
yes that is also possible la, as i always say if u dnt know wat ur doin dnt do notin atal, :D.. lads always seem to go at their own cars and they havent a clue, you woudnt go off and try wire up a house if u werent am electrican!!!...
ps give it to some1 who knows wat their doin, it could cost you more on the long run
Get a piece of flat bar. Drill 2 holes and put in 2 8mm bolts at same centers as piston. Job done. Not 100% sure but would a spanner for opening an angle grinder do the job.
^^^ what he said. the spanner thing for an angle grinder is a perfect fit.Quote:
