Technical Brake Caliper Piston Rewind Tool

[Thunderbug]

Does Fiat use a speical version just for Panda's or can I use a universal Brake Caliper Piston Rewind Tool..?

 

[dave]

only rear brakes need rewinding, front brakes just push in, you just use a clamp



if you need rewind tool use ebay much cheaper than a shop

I've changed the fronts & guess I have to buy a tool to do the rear calipers..? I won't be able to use a clamp on the rears.

This is a good link for anyone who needs to replace their rear pads n disc's, it's not for a Panda though:

When i came to do my rear ones, i just used a pair of pump pliers and a screwdriver across the face of the piston.

I've angle grinded an old socket to fit calipers for those that require too much force to use pliers on.
