Morning all...

Quick question as I know there are alot of vauxhall mechanics/techs on here. My 08 Plate vectra needs its rear pads changing and i'm just wondering if I will need any special tools for this (i.e. to push the piston back) as I had problems with this on my old Focus.

Any help appreciated

Should be ok with a socket set and a big pair of grips

Cheers mate. Just done a bit of ringing around and found I can get a winder for £20 so may as well do that and not mess around

Its very much do-able without the rewind tool,but a hell of alot easier with it.

Tried without it on my focus and it didn't go well...ended up borrowing one in the end.

I may as well buy the tool as I think i'll be doing the discs at some point to (I know they should ideally be done together but funds really cant permit atm )
