C5 Calipers
Hi, New to this but need help. Got a C5 2.2HDI and removed front pads. Problem is, how do I retract the piston? There seems to be a 5 sided bolt in the calliper, where do I get a socket to fit? and is that the key to pushing/twisting the piston back. Also got a very sqeaky rear axle/radius arm, has anyone else experienced same? Any help would be appreciated
Looks like you're not the first with the brake problem!http://www.andyspares.com/discussionfor ... C_ID=15866

Success, Tried again to wind the piston in but it was locked solid so wound it out about 3 turns then back in - so simple! I think there must be some kind of cam inside which the handbrake operates on and assume this must have been locking the thread someway. All ok and the nearside wound back in without any trouble.
Thanks for all your advice guys - Tony
