#1: enlighten me Author: mickha, Posted: Sun May 26, 2013 4:20 pm ---- Just finished doin all the brakes !!!! painted calipers,caliper holders, back plates and new brembo discs (yes just the bits pads dont touch). All sliders cleaned new copper grease now just the easy bit tomorrow puttin it back togther. Question on the rear brake piston why do 2 of the knogins have groves and 2 plain ????? do they need to be postioned in a certain way when puttin the pads in ???? or does it not matter as long as the pin on the pad is lined up with the groove
Cheers

Can you explain ????
#4: Re: enlighten me Author: iainlovatt, Posted: Mon May 27, 2013 3:40 am ---- Yes,
You need to use a tool to wind the piston back into place. Then the pads will sit in the place, put this number into eBay.

I'm on my phone which is why I can't do the link properly,,
Also why have you posted the same problem 3 times?

I can wind the piston back in no problem i'm just confused as to why the piston has these grooves on 2 of the lugs ie does it have to be positioned in a certain way or is it just a case of there to locate a compression tool if used. Realised id posted in How to@s rather than Problems hence duplicate.
PS. On a personal note deeply regret not buying your interior now struggling to find something thats anywhere near as good.
#6: Re: enlighten me Author: iainlovatt, Posted: Mon May 27, 2013 4:07 am ---- They are there for the compression tool (i think)
Interior sold 3 days later for the full asking price, it was a steal.
