Having problems pushing the pistons back in my 6Ti callipers, I push one piston in another one pushes out.

Was bad enough with the Mono 4 but the 6Ti is a nightmare :evil:

    lots of jubilee clips.

    or press on the opposite pad and replace one pad at a time.

    thanks

    not sure on the jubilee clips don't want to scratch them

    Shame there aint a tiny brake piston spreader

    I have a kit with one of these for cars but its way to big

    got them in by using a bit of metal and some water pump pliers and a sock.

    thinking of making a wedge to push them apart equally
