Putting 2 and 2 togehter and perhaps coming up with 5 (as i've never had a rear caliper problem on a Volvo so have never investigated further) would i be right in thinking the pin you refer to only allows the piston to retract when in that 20deg position - rather like a keyway on a shaft and pulley?
The pin I was referring to is the one that holds the pads in place; the pistons on the ATE are stepped and incline 20deg off horizontal in the caliper. A mis-understanding/mis-reading not helped by my conflating two separate issues in my original post.
