Caliper piston......

[bearne1]

.......anywhere I can get a cheap tool to 'rewind' the piston in the caliper?

Also, does the piston slide in/out or twist in/out.

Much appreciated.

It was a twisting type piston on my 172. I brought the piston pusher tool from a local motorist discount centre for £15. It made the job so much easier so its well worth investisting in one.

No need for one, they wind back easily with a screwdriver

As burp said.

Mine would not move without some extra force. Piston tool did the job with ease.

Hi mate,

Do they both rewind with screwdriver, back and front?

Thanks

I used a specialist tool for the front, as they slide,...a piece of wood and me pushing on the caliper lol.

G clamp would do the trick though.
