Postby Meganedci06 » Sun Feb 03, 2013 10:20 am

going to be doing my front brake pads and see a tool on ebay to wind the piston back with a right handed thread. how do i know if this is the right one, before on my old cars i just pushed it back myself.

never done it on a renault. so wantin to know if this is the right tool or i can push it back myself or any tips.

2006 1.5dci 86bhp dymanic model

thanks

really smart idea, never thought of a silicon gun. any thats good they just can be forced back. sounds a simple job on the renault so happy days if it all goes to plan, thanks for the wee tip :D
