Brake caliper wind back key?

[box car willy]

Do I need a "special" wind back key for the pistons? I'll be fitting new pads and discs this weekend (if it stays dry)

How do I wind back the pistons?

Is there a Renault key?

For the rear you can use a thin bar or even a screwdriver to put across the grooves to wind it back in. For the fronts you can use a normal wind back clamp tool or even a g clamp will do as the caliper has a big slot in the middle to get one in.

would this be the jobbie?

would this be ok for bleeding the brakes and totally flushing the system?

For the front brakes just leave the old pad in and put a g clamp over to push the piston back. The rears as said above just put a screw driver across and wind back.

If you look in the guide section im sure theres a brake bleeding guide in there. Its a much easier job with two people tbh

I used a screwdriver to wind back piston and a brake bleed kit from Halfords.

make sure you take unscrew the brake fluid cap off first then you can compress the fron calipers with even a bar and just pucsh it in that way if that makes sense

I've always used the air pressure Gunsons Brake Bleed Kit.

Works every time and not expensive!
