front brake pads

Post by chris vtr virgin »

Help i am just about to change front pads seems easy enough. But what's the easy way to shove the pistons. On a car you would take caliper off and shove piston in with g clamp.
Any advice would be great.
Thanks
Chris

i move them before removing the pads... just put a pry bar between them or a spanner, then use another spanner to turn it sideways.
open the res and put some cloths down to catch any fluid expelled.
