I am changing the rear brake pads because they are fully worn out. Have removed everything - include the whole rear brake caliper from the car.
The caliper piston will not retract enough to allow me to fit the new brake pads. I cannot rotate the caliper piston in any direction - it is VERY tight. I do not have the special Ford tool, but I have used multigrips on the outside of the piston and I have tried a flat bladed screwdriver (with little success). Are there any other tricks to the trade apart from buying an expensive tool for one use ? The caliper is only 12 months old, so I can't be stuffed yet. It's the right hand side caliper, which I think needs to rotate anti-clockwise to make it retract. Can the caliper be dismantled, rotated internally with a spanner and re-assembled ? |
