Ok so I removed the calliper and changed the disc. Got the old pads out by gently pushing the old one back against the piston to free it up. So far so good.
Problem is the gap between the 2 pads is into sufficient to allow the disc between them. The piston is stuck out still about 2 or 3mm. I'm not sure if its supposed to retract completely flush with the calliper but this would make sense as its only a few mm I need to get the disc between the pads.
Iv tried pushing the piston back with the flat of a spanner and by using the old pad but it wont go any further. I don't want to damage it by forcing it. I have an inkling that I should somehow be turning the piston a certain way is I push but there is nothing to grip as I turn.
Can anyone offer any advice?
Thanks.
