do all mk2 rear calipers have to be twisted back? evern the later ones that dont have the hex center bit????? first time to ever take off the discs and the caliper seems seized. so do all mk2 rear calipers have to be wound back(turned?) thanks ronan
My '91 golf ones did. Used a home made tool and applied lots of pressure on it. The caliper may be seized because Mk2 rear calipers are rubbish
Yeah they need to be wound back, that's what the 2 little slots in the piston are for. If it's off the car it should go with a set of circlip pliers (or similar), or you could just buy the proper wind back tool
I used a pair of pliers. It absolutly cains your hand and takes forever. Worth buying the tool in the long run. you can use it again and again and is about 20 if i remember rightly
i have a prper winder tool and dont use it, the disc changine spanner off my 15 halfords angle grinder does a better job ath the 45 clark piece of poo kit i have
