wezza9 Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johngreen537 Posted December 4, 2010 Author Share Posted December 4, 2010 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!

civicturbo79 Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 Try winding it the other way it should go in easy with the winding tool . If not you need a nice new set of recondictioned ones from me Rich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
