I know this isn't Vauxhall but I have front discs and pads to change on a 406 and need to know if the calipers need winding back or do they just push back?
Has anybody worked on 1?
It's a 2002 2.0 HDi with bosch brakes.

That definite Daz?
I usually borrow the tool to wind them back from the garage round the corner, I'm doing the brakes on Sunday when they're closed so need to borrow the tool on Friday if I need it.
Would be fun to find out I do need it on Sunday afternoon

Another tip is make sure the pads are in the right way round on the rears

i'll remember that as I'll be doing the rears soon as the discs are pitted.
