Sticky rear calipers

[Djw John]

Found out the other day whilst painting my calipers that they are rubbing a bit, obviously dont want this!

Know what to do with front calipers but never had rear discs before, how do I clean them up?

Also davebem pointed out a pad is on the wrong side. Heard the pistion twists back, how do you do this?

Merci beucoup

You can wind the piston back by slotting a flat bladed screwdriver in the slots and turning it clockwise, it should move fairly easily. The brake pad with the lump on the back goes at the back resting on the piston, the lump fits in the slots on the piston. Also make sure the caliper moves freely back and forth across the disc.
