Rear brake piston tool

[Dr.Pepper 0]

I tried to replace my rear brake pads this morning,

but I couldn't get the piston to shift back.

According to the Bentley manual, I need VW special tool 3272.

Does anyone know if there's a nack to doing it or do I need to go and buy the tool ?

I tried twisting with mole grips, and using various levers to force it back, but it was having none of it.

Cheers

think you're on CGTI forum, and i've answered this already on there.

if not, just get the tool, it's an investment, and saves sooo much time and effort.

Yeah I saw your answer there.

Thanks.

I'm off to halfords one evening this week.

I've got discs and bearings too but they don't really need doing.

Last service in the summer, the guy said I needed new

discs and pads on the rear.

Couldn't afford the £250 he wanted so bought the bits myself.

When I got the wheel off and had a proper look, the

discs were fine, but I do need to do the pads.

Here's where you can order the rear pad changing tool online:

I have one of these and it works lovely.

Oops, forgot to update this thread.

I bought one from Halfords and it worked a charm.

20 notes, but worth every penny.

If anyone is near Stevenage and needs a brake piston tool, let me know
