worthing
ok so i thought i would treat my audi to some new disks allround and also mend the abs sensor! got the abs sensor in then put the disk on. now i couldnt fit the caliper on and someone told me to twist the piston till it shrunk so i could fit it on. with a bit of twisting and hammering i got the caliper on and screwed all the bolts in..... now the brake is fully on and the wheel wont move at al!!! and i have work at 8! im screwed!


any help would be very helpful
 
You need to remove the offending claiper ( assuming rear) and screw and push some more. Did yoy use a proper brake piston retracting tool or similar? As some other methods cause problems.
 
no me being really daft didnt realize it was a turning one so got a wrench and twisted it! as i was running out of daylight! and what has annoyed me more is the abs sensor is still not working!
 
getting the proper tool tonigh so will let your know how it goes!
