    Can anyone help? I'm in the process of replacing the rear pad and discs, I've got the old ones off and I can't rewind the pot in the caliper .

    Am i doing something wrong or have i missed something? or is the caliper knacked?

    You are using the tool aren't you?? Its like a glorified G clamp.

    Normally the G clamp presses the piston back but the action of turning the pot with the insert which comes with the tool will cause the handbrake tensioner to release.

    The tool if you don't have one can be bought from halfords
