How to compress Audi rear brake cylinder??
1990 Audi 200 Turbo Quattro Stick Wagon – How to compress rear brake cylinder?
Does anyone know how to? I’m use to inserting a strong screwdriver or flat metal bar against the cylinder and just applying an even steady pressure and the cylinder piston moves back in so I can install new brake pads. Works fine on the front brake. On the REAR brakes what a pain! Some one told me you had to turn and push. I’ve taken the caliper off the car, set it up in a vice and with someone pressing down on the cylinder piston I’ve used pliers to turn the piston, all the while having steady pressure applied. Still NOTHING! no movement of piston. What am I doing wrong here???!1 HELP! haawill@yahoo.com

If your rear pads are worn down too far you'll have no luck getting the tool in, to compress the piston. You will have to do it the old fashioned way, until you've created enuff room to fit teh tool in. Is that what you're having a problem with? getting it in? (I'd heard that about you)

Dude, you're in Jersey, right?Go to Autozone, they have those in Jersey, don't they? Go up to the counter and tell them you need to rent the brake-caliper reset tool, let 'em ring it up on your Visa (or, PM me the Visa # and I'll call them, FOR YOU[&:]). WHen you bring the tool-kit back, unscathed and complete, they'll re-credit the funds to your Visa (ddon't forget to send ME the #, along with teh security code, from the back).
Or, you could go to the HarborFreight link 2k s4 provided, above, and purchase it, online...
OR, search eBay for the same tool and yu'll save yourself about $8-$12, but, it's eBay, so...
When you get your grubby l'il mitts on it PM me a contact # & I'll PERSONALLY call you & talk you through squeezing the piston back into the caliper.
OK?
