changing rear break pads

[EDY172]

Hi everyone,

could anyone give me some advice on changing my rear brake pads, i have a 2002 clio 172. i attempted to change them last night, i managed to remove the worn pads, but there wasn't enough room to slide the new pads in. am i right in thinkinh that the break piston should slide back to create more space. but it won't budge am i missing something??

cheers :S

the piston needs to be wound in, i used screwdriver across the groove, clockwise if i remember.

no fronts just slide , cap off master cyl. and clamped caliper to get enough space for new pads
