  1. Hey guys, really annoying day attempted to change my rear brake pads was going fairly well until i tried to get the piston back to fit new brembo pads. Tried the right tool and all my strength but dont seem to budge any help greatly appreciated.
     
  2. What were you using?
     
  3. The retracting tool that you slot into the groves of the piston and turn
     
  4. Did you use the correct rewind tool?

  5. Yes mate
     
  6. Sometimes they are really hard to start off, but if you’ve used all your strength on it it’s probably seized mate. We’re the pads totally worn down to the metal?

  7. Pretty much mate
     
  8. What would i have to do if its seized new caliper?
     
  9. Might seem really obvious but have you taken the handbrake off before you started winding?
