Rear brake change time.
« on: January 06, 2017, 03:24:06 pm »
Afternoon all, I'm going to change my rear brakes over the weekend if its dry...

Question is I know I have to wind the calipers back in (Tool to hand LOL) but which side is LH and which side is RH or are they both the same and if so LH or RH.

Oh and happy new year to all from a wet north Devon, Andy B.

I cant remember which way it goes, I guess left but dont count on my guess.

Either way you'll have to persevere with it. can be a bit of a tedious job getting the pistons pushed back in.

Be sure to under the brakes res when pushing the piston back into the caliper too :happy2:

Both calipers are right hand (clockwise) wind in, just like screwing in a standard screw.

Hope this helps.
