Hi guys, (c30 2009 1.6d) As you've probably guessed from the title... Trying to change rear pads & disks, bought a caliper rewind tool kit, but cant for the life of me get the bloody thing to wined in. So far managed about 1/4 turn. It doesn't help being suspended from a bunji cord. Ive even tried clamping it in place and using an extendable wrench to get better leverage, but Im dicing with danger there because I'll end up breaking the pipes, because cant clamp it firmly enough. If the caliper was completely removed Id stand a better chance, but that means break fluid everywhere doesn't it? I wish someone had told me what a **** of a job this is, then I might have just stumped up the £280 to the garage. Anyone got any advice how to wined the caliper back in? Short of taking it to the garage. Although wheels off now so cant even drive it lol Last edited by VolvoRob38; Jun 6th, 2021 at 16:34.
