Default Replacing the rear disc brake 01model

Hi all,

I'm helping a friend to replace her brakes but I'm stuck. I've replace many brakes before, but I've never encountered this problem. In the instructions, it tells me to "rotate the brake piston backward", but when I try doing it, it won't budge. I tried using a dsic brake pad seperator but it still wont work. Is there a trick to or a step I forgot to do? I'm sorry if I'm not clear enough, beause my English isnot that great.

Thanks.

OK I moved it to the S40 forum.

You will need a tool that turns and pushes the caliper at the same time to get it to compress.
