Need Help pressing back rear brake piston on P5

Zoomer · Mar 23, 2005

Hi I having some trouble replacing the rear rotors and brake pads.
I cant get the piston back with C clamp. I read on this forum somewhere(after I searched) that theres a allen to use to loosen the pistons back.
I cant find anything like that? Is it behind the parking brake? I need some guidence.
Any HELP would be appreciated..(sssh)

there is a 12mm bolt that you remove and there is a 4mm allen screw in there, you will have to turn that around in order for your caliper to go back in.

Hi found it finally. Its behind the 14 mm bolt in middle of caliper. Its easier than using C clamps. Great way to do it but they should have it in the manual so doityourselfers dont have to pull out our hair.
