So, picked up a shiney new mongoose exhaust this morning, and on the way back my rear pads disintegrated!

No big deal. Went to the shop bought some more.

Couln't find my caliper winder, so went to the shop & bought another!

Now, it's stuck! won't wind back in at all!

HELP!

i am just about to do mine i hoped they would be done by now in work but i left my jack at home doh

is it just not winding back ? i know this may sound silly but have you got the right winder they do left and right hand threads ? i bought a set of each (£10 each) not used them yet

i once did a set of rear pad on mates golf took ages i could not wind it back and no winder till now

Lol mate, It's a right winder (clockwise) :)

Just wont budge, piston moves when you press the brake pedal so it can't be seized much!

Gonna try letting the bleed nipple off and have another go, make sure it's not just pressure in the lines stopping it!

Bloody PITA!
