Just a thought, but you do realise we're talking about the _rear_
brakes, don't you?

Yes. - the inboard ****ing things on the P6.

My Rover 600 was a 2L with discs all round. So was my 420. In fact, the
Capri is the only car I've had without rear discs since before the turn
of the century.

Erm, but a G-Clamp can, and quite often would, damage the face of
the
piston as it would be able to rotate on the face of it without
actually
turning the piston - because they don't have the 'pins' to lock
onto the
piston as proper tools do.

The cone shaped part on the end of the clamp didn't rotate..


Exactly you **** head, that is why a G-clamp is more likely to scrap
the calliper than wind the piston back!

You really are a clueless retard, not only have you admitted to not
knowing how these types of callipers work but also that you have
not
read this thread either...

So how do calipers that need to be wound back work then? Please
explain
to this qualified mechanic with main dealer experience.


I already have, read the thread!

Yes. - the inboard ****ing things on the P6.

Which you would not be able to get a G-clamp on to, unless you unship
the unit from the rear axle... FFS there is not more clearance that
the thickness of two brake pads, even when the rear discs are removed
the amount of room is not much more, considering that the working end
of the G-clamp (the part with the threaded rod) needs to face towards
the diff unit and not act against the calliper outer casing. IMO it's
clear that you have never seen the underside of the P6, never mind
worked on them.

....and who said anything about main dealers, I've never worked in a
main dealer workshop in my life - as will be the case with most
mechanics, it's nothing to do with were one works but the ability to
(sometimes stop to) understand how something works, and thus
understand the problem, and thus understand how to fix/work-around it
and not just use brute force and gross ignorance - especially when
it's someone else's property!

I meant in relation to the piston you dumb ****.

****, you're a friggin retard.
