Ok then, eventually got to the bottom of it and am posting this note in case anyone else has similar problems.

Thanks for the reply, I am sure the new bearings will be the correct ones they cost £65 each, so I guess that makes them fairly special. I guess that the transmitter and receiver need to be matched or reset in some way.

does anyone any idea how this can be done?

Thanks David, I was not offered discs with bearings, only discs without, buying the bearings and having them pressed in cost an extra £135!!. I had success winding one of the caliper pistons back, but at the moment the other one rotates OK but the piston does not retract. Have you any more info on t...

Thanks for that Webcode, I am also changing the rear discs and am having real trouble removing the bearings. So much so that I think I have wrecked one of them. Do you have any experience with removing these, and replacing them in the new disc? I am also having some difficulty sourcing new bearings ...

My question is how can you fully retract the wheel cylinder piston, clearly there is an integral self adjusting mechanism for the handbrake an...
