Im trying to change my mother in laws 2001 Holden/Opel Barina xc 1.4L Brake pads but im having heaps of trouble, iv tried doing everything but i cant seem to get the piston down, does anyone know how i can do this.. Iv changed brake pads before on all types of cars and never had any trouble except on this carGetting the piston down on changing Barina brake pads?
I use a large C clamp to push the piston back into the caliper, but take is slowly....Getting the piston down on changing Barina brake pads?
Get a manual on that model of Opel and it will tell you what to do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.Getting the piston down on changing Barina brake pads?
i would take a guess that you are working on the rears? if im right that piston has to be rotated in order for it to go back in to make room for the new pads. rear calipers on a rear disc setup are kind of like a screw, so rotating them will make them go back in. direction im not sure of but you will know if you are going the right way because the piston length will get shorter, if your going the right way. if it gets longer rotate the other direction.
