Rear brake pad tool ??

[steve94]

Ok so pads need changing on the clio mk3 dci 106 version has discs on the back and just wondering if anyone knows do I need a tool to retract the piston or just like the front with a simple leveraged push, should be the same other clios with rear discs I'd imagine.

wind back tool required.

Could maybe do it without, I have a couple of times, but if they aren't very very easy to turn, thats a pain in the ass.

Thanks is it just a universal halfords will have kind of thing

Pretty sure you'll need a wind back tool, the Clio 182,197 & 200 definately do.

£10 off ebay or £20 from motor factors.

Will get one from eBay, halfords only have a laser kit for all cars which is £70

Not all pistons wind in clockwise either. Some cars have clockwise one side and anti-clockwise the other.
Get one if those full kits off eBay for under £30.
It has pretty much everything

This.

I used one when I did mine, wouldn't say you'd need it but it depends on how old your car is and the state of the calipers IMO.

The rears get absolutely covered in Sh*t meaning some calipers can seize/get sticky, a winder would make it easier.

I just use a square file or similar to give a good bit of leverage, sack buying something specific and if your caliper wont wind back with that or a flat blade screwdriver its pretty much kippered and needs replacing anyway

As everyone else, a screwdriver worked fine for me

Machine mart do one with the left hand thread for Renaults for about 12 quid, or use a screwdriver as everyone suggests.
