Hi, Im really hoping someone who‘s done this job can help me here… I’m trying to change the rear discs and pads, and am unable to push the piston back into the calliper for the new pads to go in. Prior to starting the job I (at least thought) deactivated the parking brake with VCDS, first cycling through the handbrake and leaving it in the off position, then using VCDS and selecting “rear lining change mode” and could hear the brakes retracting. I’ve now stripped the brakes down to the point of replacing the pads, but using the caliper piston wind in tool, I can (relatively) easily rotate the piston in one direction (with with the tool this is effectively moving the piston out) but it won’t rotate and retract. It feels solid, like the parking brake is still engaged somehow.
Have I done something wrong? Any tips would be most appriciated!
Thank you!
