Fitting Rear Pads - GTi
« on: August 09, 2011, 04:41:27 pm »
Just bought some rear pads from the dealers which came with new caliper bolts and metal clips.

Pads have an anti squeal looking backing is it still advisable to still fit some 3M Anti Squeal or should i be ok?

Also do i wind the pistons clockwise ?

You should be fine fitting the pads as they are. Mine had an anti squeal looking backing and are fine.

I'm pretty sure the pistons wind clockwise. I used a piston rewind tool which I got from Amazon, which I can highly recommend as it will be very tough to do without.
