Re: [VW-VR6] REAR BRAKE ??'s

Chris,

I believe that you will have to get the tool one way or the other.  Take a stroll down to your local auto parts store be it Pep Boys, AutoZone, or whatever, they should have the tool necessary to twist the piston back into the caliper *FREE RENTAL*.  The tool will look similar to a socket but with two raised points at the 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock position, just insert the tool onto a ratchet and you should be on your way to finishing up the rear brakes.

Hope this helps,

OK gang,
Due to a late train for UPS .... I get to put off the install of the brake
pads (Red box) that I ordered till next weekend.
My question here is ...... how are those of you that have changed the rear
pads gotten the rear pistons to "back-up"?  The manual shows a VW tool that
as it pushes the piston back in as it also seems to "twist or turn" it as
well....  I am not going to get the tool but it can't be that difficult..
TIA!!
Chris
