how the hell do i push the pistons back when changing disks and pads on the front callipers ?

ive taken the cap off the resevoir and i have been trying with some fat mole grips and they hardly moving

anyone help me out ?

also how do i get my turbo damper off my turbo

 

they need 2 be screwed back in with the correct tool m8

 

oh ffs were can i get one of these?

 

btw im talking about front callipers

not rears

i know the rears have to be screwed in do the fronts ????

 

burton power sell the wind back tools

 

no m8 but they r probably seized then by the sounds the other thing u can try is just open the bleed screw and release them that way but the brake caliper will need re bleading m8

 

i tried opening bleed nipple still no movement

i will buy the piston spreader from burton power as that looks like a propper tool for the job



then will have it for future use if still dont work will need to sort my callipers out

 

i would sudjest if u opend the bleed screw and they DIDNT MOVE THEY R FOOKED SIEZED LOL buy some new 1's

 

these were workign fine 2 months ago

and they look like they were reconned not long ago

 

my callipers have 2 bleed nipples

looking on burton power website the picture on there shows the 2wd callipes with one bleed nipple

i only tried opening 1 nipple lol

 

[quote="CraigN"] these were workign fine


i like that word were now arnt

 

you are a fookin nipple

 

not funny

 

my aps have 2 nipples and?

 

bunch of coonts u lot

i want my cossie back on the road and its being fooooorking gaylordish

 

calipers must be seized - is there any splits/perishing on the dust covers around the pistons?

they should push in easily especially with the bleed nipples undone

 

whats up with a g clamp instead of spending money on somthing you dont need

 

sadly, they are right, if you can push them back, they are seized

i have 1 piston like that on one of mine.

Ian @ godspeed soon sorted that out

 

just had another look one of the ruber seals arround the piston has come away from the calliper

 

shit luck dude

 

Craig

Just the seals can be done the same day , if you want them blasted off and sprayed that is a 2 day job as the paint has to dry before they can be rebuilt , I will call you later to see if I can do them in the morning , I am working on 2 kits which the customers are oicking them up mid day tomorrow , so as long as they are finished I can do yours , if not I will have to do them monday , unless you do want them sprayed as you could drop them up sat , and I can post them back to you monday ?

Cheers Ian
