Does anyone no the process of removing the pistons from calipers on ph2 gti,do u just pump them out clamp pipe off then when putting back together just wind piston back in or is the piston held in with clips?Help needed?many thanks scott
 
just unwind it anti clockwise untill it comes out.. then you have to wind it clockwise all the way to the bottom then you have to turn 90 degress anti clockwise to make the the self asjuster tart tow ork again..

you carnt wind it half way then go back once you start winding it anti clockwise it has to come all the way off then back on again to make it go back into the caliper..
 
you just pump it off! no need to unwind it!

undo the caliper and then just get someone to stomp on the brake!

it'll pop off! mole grip the pipe behind to stop excess fluid loss!

then if you dont have the rewind tools then just use a set of long nose pliers or thin snips!

just push in and clockwise at teh same time! YOU MUST PUSH IT IN AS YOU WIND IT
