Going to replace rear discs and pads on my 2002 110tdi Octavia. can anyone recommend a piston rewind tool.

 

Thanks

I used this one and it worked fine for me: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Brake-Break-Caliper-Piston-Rewind-Hand-Tool-For-VW-AUDI-GOLF-SEAT-FORD-UK/142383406747?epid=1440739718&hash=item2126b65e9b:g:6KcAAOSwpbRZ4L1i

just make sure it complies with your car.  The one I posted above, is just for reference.  It is cheap and it gets the job done.  Once you have it in your hands, you will work it out, no big deal

Hi,

I bought a Laser 1314 Brake Rewind Tool same as this one on flea-bay:-

NB: Before rewinding piston back into caliper, using nylon wire brush carefully clean all the crud off the piston area also check piston sides for rust. If its present

carefully remove using somethin like 600 wet and dry.

some confusion about left and right hand thread piston rewind tools?  

Confusion ?????,

 

The one i bought has a right hand thread (hold unit with the tee bar next to you and the pegged disc furthest away) turn tee bar in a clockwise direction (as a clock hand). That is a right hand thread.  simples.

This will then screw the piston back into the caliper.
