Barina XC REAR BRAKES *help*

[ORICKY]

hi guys,
I am replacing my rear brakes for my Barina XC 2002. Having some problems getting the piston down all the way to fit the new pads in.
Is there a special tool to buy to turn that piston back all the way so i can fit my new pads in. We have tried using a special clamp plyers but no luck.

Or does anyone have any advice on how to get the pistons in all the way and fit my new ferado pads in!?

thanks.

Make sure the handbrake is off...

[ORICKY]

yeah handbrake is off! I had it on a stand and no luck getting the pistons all the way in. The fronts have been done as they have no piston. Just clamp them back.. but the rear is the problem with the pistons needing a special tool? any advice?

Not sure with the Barinas as I havn't replaced mine yet. If you don't get any advice here, go to your local Holden Dealer and ask them.
