Changin rear pads on Ocatvia TDi? HELP

Ratus · 06-05-2006, 15:48

Right. Tried to change the rear pads on my 02' TDi L/K earlier and encountered some trouble.

Could anyone please tell me how to retract the rear cylinders so i can get the new pads in?

or could there be another problem with it?

Cheers.

Ratus.

You need a retraction tool that rotates them as it pushes them back - see this post for some links. Halfords often stock them too.

As simple search would have revealed the answer.
