sierra rear disc brakes
hi i've been bleeding my brakes today and i have had to remove the rear calipers to rid most of the air. all done so i left the calipers off so
i can give them a once over tomorrow and bleed agian. then made a school boy error and i just wanted to see if the presure switch worked ok and went
back to the car several hours later with my elec meter and pumped the brakes a couple of times. i forgot to put the disc's into the capilpers
and push 1 of the pistons out about 2mm and i can not get the disc back in, and i believe you have to screw and put pressure on the piston to make it
go back. can someone help with a quick step by step guide of the important things to do, which way do i turn the piston etc.
many thats steve

Handy tool to do it with is the two pronged spanner for tightening an angle grinder disc. HTH Ray
To make a car go faster, just add lightness. Colin Chapman - OR - fit a bigger engine. Chippy
