Yes because I did mine yesterday .. the piston rotates in the same direction of wheel,, So clockwise on offside and anti clockwise on nearside (Kerbside) but you have to apply a lot of pressure whilst winding,, Don't forget to take reservoir cap off.

Hi thanks for that info,that means that I had it back to front in my head,glad i,m not doing the job till the weekend I'd have got it wrong,wont have any trouble winding the pistons back as I have bought a tool for that,i was just confused as to which piston turned which way.

 

Try not to allow the piston to come out of the end of its thread as it's a pig to get it back in again.

Hi thanks for that,thats why I want to make sure I turn them in the right direction so that hopefully I wont encounter that very problem.

 

You won't do any harm if they come out of the end of their travel but it's a pig of a job to get them back in. A bit like trying to screw a bolt and nut together while wearing gloves and being blindfolded.

Thanks Andy,got me fingers crossed I dont do that.

 

The piston comes out at least one new pad depth safely if you get me ? as the piston has to reach very worn pads .
