407 Rear Disc Brakes
Can anyone help does anyone have a guide or can explain how the rear disc caliper cylinders are retracted into the caliper? Do I need special tools to do this? I am planning to change the discs n pads and rear disc brakes are not my strong point.

hi and welcome
you need to unhook the cable from the calliper, then remove the calliper, once tghe calliper is away you must wind the piston/s back in all the way clock wise,
if you dont have a proper calliper rewinding tool, you can use thge likes of parrot/plumers grips around the edge of the piston, but dont grip on the rubber dust boot on the piston/s,
once you have re/assembled the callipers and pads but before hooking the cables back on, start the engine and press the brake pedel hard two or three times to reset the callipers,
then hook the cables back on,
were abouts are you
