I need to replace the rear brake pads on my Polo Classic, 1.9 Tdi 2006. I can remove the disc, but cannot get the caliper-piston to withtract enough in order to replace the pads. It is on the rear wheels of my Polo Tdi 2006 1.9, and NO, the handbrake is not on. Please advise. (by the way - Why is the Polo not listed as a Model for VW?)
Regards, Abrie
This is a turn in caliper, meaning that as you try to compress the piston, you also need to rotate it clockwise. you can buy tool for this at nearly any parts store, and is fairly inexpensive.
Testimonial: "Thank you for your assistance. I found out the turning piston part by mistake, a day after I posted the question, when I tried to use a G-Clamp."
