Currently fitting new brake pads, can't remember how to release the brake pads, so there a gap between the two so i can fit in over the disc, if you can understand that . Thanks in advance .

I think you can just use a screw driver to lever them back in. Might need the cap off the brake fluid bottle too. But not entirely sure sorry mate: lol:

Yeah i remembered as far as taking the fluid cap off, but the brake piston won't budge.

You need to apply even pressure on it. No good just pushing one side. Don't push it back too fast either.

Best thing to use is a G clamp if you can get one small enough. Put one end inside the piston so it gives even pressure and then push it back. Either that, or a thin steel bar.
