Sierra brake calipers
Ive replaced the CV joint on the rear, and tried to put the caliper back on, but when checking the lights, i was pressing the brake pedal (Schoolboy
error), with it off the disc. So now, the pads were closed and the piston extended and i cant seem to push it back in.
There isnt a wind back tool that i need is there? ive Fked around with it for ages now, and its ll i need to do to get it MOT'd!!!
Kindest Regards,
Richard.

You need to put pressure on the piston while your winding it back in, one of the cheapie metal frame clamps from the likes of lidl/aldi are ideal.

Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a
car that you are still paying for - in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes
and the car, and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it.
