I've just been a bought some rear pads to put in my ZR 160. Easy job or so i thought!!
How do you get the calliper piston back in? Are there any trick methods?

What type of rewind tool do i need?


Thanks,
Greg

You will need a small G clamp a couple of quid from somewhere like wilkinsons. The face of the piston protect with some thin rubber or other protective material wind in the clamp slowl till it contacts the piston. Then slowly wind in further till the piston retracts into the body. Warning though while you do this check your brake fluid resevoir level as it will rise.
