Rear brake work

[herbieP5]

I am replacing the pads on the rear of my pro 5 and i have been told that to move the piston back in the caliper to make room for new pads you need to remove a bolt from the back of the caliper where the e-brake assembly is and unscrew a smaller bolt with a allen key which will allow the piston to go back.

1- is this true

and

2- what size allen key do I need.

Thanks guys.

1 - Yes, it is. Not too difficult.

2 - I just did mine, and I think I used a 4 or 5mm. It's something small like that.

thanks,

I didnt think it would be to bad, I have worked on lots of brakes but never came across this set up. My first go at it aI tried to just clamo it back and thought it was seized. but I guess this will be MUCH easier.

hehe.
