A6 Quattro Rear Brakes
Need a little quick help here. Went to install new rearpads/ rotors on my quattro. (pads were wore WAY out) and I am unable get the piston pushedback in. They way they appear, they must screw back in?? I loosened the bleeder and attempted to screw the piston back in...Also tried a C clamp with no luck...
A little "helping hand" would be GREATLY appreciated. Had to borrowmy wife'snew Acadia to get to work and I am thinking that isn't gonna be the case for tomorrow....
Thanks in advance.......................

jj,
thanks for the reply. I worked on it lastnight and modified an existing tool I had in my box to fit in the slots (on the piston) to screw it back in....a few clockwise turns, clean up the rust on the caliper to fit the new pads in the guide slots & it was a done deal.....thanks again......
