How do you fit rear brake pads on Astra 1.8 cdx (2000 Wreg)?
How do you fit rear brake pads on Astra 1.8 cdx (2000 Wreg)
I'm unsure how to push the calipers back before fitting the new pads. Do I need to release the handbrake adujster somehow or open the bleed valve on the calliper inorder to push it back?
If someone has complete instructions for this job that would be great
Problem is already solved. I needed a special tool to push back the rear caliper pistons as they need to be rotated as well as pushed.
Thanks for your help

DO NOT TOUCH THE BLEEDING NOZZLES!! You have to open the brake fluid bottle then you can push the pistons back with a big set of mole grips of something simular.
