Do you need any special tools??? my mate said summing about a tool to adjust the rear piston??

 

[Pacey]

is there a guide on hear??? :S

You'll need a calliper wind back tool but you don't need to remove the 8mm allen key headed bolts. Back off the 13mm bolts, remove the pads and piston. Back off the disc screw, change the disc, wind back the calliper piston, fit new pads and calliper, job done

were do i get one of them from????

 

[Willie]

Halfords, you seemingly can do it with long nose pliers spread open and located into the slots on the piston and rotate these to wind back
