Hi

I'm going to change the rear brake pads on my 2002 TT Quattro.

I've been doing some looking into it and it looks like I have to wind the piston back in with a special tool.
Can anyone tell me Where could I buy one or have I got to buy a set?
and if it's left or right handed thread?
Or any more advice that anyone could give would be great. I'm changing the rear disks at the same time, but this looks straight forward.
Thanks

Hi did this the other week on my bro's car 180TT
There is a special tool that u can use to screw the rear piston back, i just used a set of Nose Pillers did the job.
The Piston needs to be turned Clockwise.

Thanks for that I managed to borrow one of the audi garage.(WOW!)
Thanks I didnt want to do the job without knowing for sure.
I've now done it, and the brakes feel a bit hard, but Im sure they will bed in with use.
Thanks again :beerchug:
