Quick question about changing front pads on C5 mk1

Post by waynedance »

Is there anything you have to do to the front calliper apart from winding the piston in as there is a screw like thing on the calliper as well??

Thank you.

Unclip and remove handbrake cable from caliper (if you want to)
Remove bolt from lower slide.
Flip up caliper
Remove pads
Screw in piston Clockwise on N/S Anticlock on O/S(opposite direction to forward rotation of the wheel)
