Hello all.
changed rear disks today, however was unable to change pads as no matter what I tried, I could not get the passenger side piston to wind back without the boot turning. Tried fully cleaning with brake cleaner, sprayed with wd40 but the boot appears to be stuck solid to the piston.
I was expecting to find the pistons sticky as they are the originals but they are totally free.
was just wondering if anybody has any tricks on how to get around this without having to remove and strip the caliper down.
I realise this is a long shot but any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks
