replacing rear pads

hi,

Can somebody tell me if the rear brake pistons simply push back or are they a screw system. I am replacing the rear pads and this is holding me up at the moment.

Any ideas on pushing back the piston would be appreciated.


Thanks

Pagey Thought as much !!

They just push in, one easy way is to use a carpenters "G" clamp. Clive

They just push back. Block of wood or some other implement to keep them square. Thumbs Up

Thanks Clive and Bodsy,

First side was ok until I got to pushing back the piston...........other side took me ten minutes in all to remove wheel, fit pads, wheel back on.

waiting for the front pads to arrive now, then start again !!

Thanks
