changing brake discs

Featured Replies

Hey all,

I've tried a search but couldn't come up with much.

Is there anything special about changing Fabia brake discs & pads front & rear?

I know some cars require special tools for piston rewinding, etc.

Do fabia calliper pistons push or twist in?

Ta

you need a special rewind tool for the rear

The fronts push back in, the rears twist. Spray some WD40 on the rears and I found it a little easier with it on.

I didnt use any special tools......didnt take long to change either. Mind you, that was only the fronts

/\ Wot they said! :P

Thanks for the replies,

On my Fiat the rear pistons rotate in but each side in the direction of the wheel rather than both clockwise as you would assume.

Is the fabia standard clockwise retraction or opposite?

Thanks
