Hi - Can anybody tell me which way the front caliper pistons wind back on an 03 2.0 HDi 110 C5? - I know they are handed unlike the Xantia, but can't remember which side is which
Thanks
Richard

I didn't use any fancy tool to rewinfd the calipers.
I carefully a large flat blade screwdriver and rotated the pistons accordingly. £25 saved and in my pocket!

I made this tool which winds the pistons back easily.
The prongs fit the two grooves in the piston.
Pressure on the rounded end pushes the pistons back whilst a T-bar through the prongs winds them.
Note: They go in much easier if the bleed valve is opened.
