st215 Caldina rear brake pad replacement

Postby snwtoy » Wed Feb 25, 2009 5:55 pm

Hi All

Having a bit of trouble getting the piston back in on the rear brakes of the caldina.

Is it a simple push in type, or does it need to be screwed in?

Cheers

No special tools required, piston just pushes back. Have you tried loosening the bleed screw?

No, didn't try that. Tried a bigger lever in the end :)

Possible to loosen the bleed screw without losing fluid? I'm pretty n00b when it comes to brakes :oops:

Nope, you use a brake bleeder, or just a hose into a bottle ;)
