Hi i have a 2000 206 GTI and want to renew the rear Disks & Pads i have seen all the guides for front brakes but none for the rear do you need to wind the piston back ?
Also i found on my front that the 13mm bolts will not shift for anything is there anything that will take those buggers out without rounding them off !!

Never had a problem removing the 13mm bolts from the front. You using a socket or an open ended spanner?
Rear calipers need the pistons rewinding.

What tool you need for the winding ? And as for the 13mm Bolts i used a hand Torque Wrench and that woudn't even move them. Ive also tried a high impact spanner (open ended) none of which have moved but infact started to round it off slightly, ive sprayed it bashed it, cursed it, shown it pictures of Justin Bieber and the bolt still won't shift
