AW11 rear pad replacement?

Postby Baxter » Wed Oct 10, 2007 1:40 am

Went to swap the pads in the rear of my AW11 and I was f-ed if I could get the piston to squeeze in at all. Big grips, not a fraction of a mm movement :(

I don't usually have a problem with these on front disks, so I'm assuming the handbrake system might have something to do with the piston not wanting to return?

Oh a special service tool to screw it in... Damn. :(
I guess that explains why I couldn't force it back :)

Don't suppose anyone in the Dunedin area has one?


Cheers for the linky.
