405 Mi16 Rear Calipers

[Peetypug 5]

i've been trying to replace the rear pads on my mi16

i've tried everything to get them to go in

the problem is the pistons

they wind out but not in

 

they are stightly different to my 1.9 calipers

 

any help would be greatly recieved

is the handbrake on???? lol

 

no, i did think that at first

[BERTMAN 40 1 Cars]

could try putting a g-clamp on it, and winding it in

well i've just punched the car out of sheer frustration!

i've tried a G clamp and turning it at the same time, it didn't work

i've been trying now for over an hour! the piston turns, but doesn't go in any further

i've looked at M@tts 405 haynes link and that doesn't help either

 

i need this sorting for its mot next week and dont have any more spare time apart from today

ok, only other thing i can think of is seized caliper. As a last resort, loosent eh bleed nipple and the input feed, and clamp the piston to see if it moves.

 

If it doesn't, surely that would indicate a seized caliper.

got it sorted!

 

it needed pressure on it while turning at the same time

when i say pressure i mean a hell of a lot!!!!
