407 rear brake pad replacement help

Jun 11, 2009 1 Replies

I am trying to replace my brake pads on the rear of my 407 but the cylinder won't push in. I think it is may be due to the hand brake which seems to be an automatic adjustment but I can't get it back to get the new pads in. I don't think its seized as the cylinder turns, I tried to turn it back thinking it unscrewed to adjust. Does anyone know how it works. Thanks

You normally need a special tool for this. Sometimes there are generic tools with adaptors to suit the calipers on specific vehicles. like this one.
