With piston still protruding fit the dust seal, a little red grease helps push it in the recess. Once in secure with the metal ring, easiest to keep the open end of the ring away from the bridge of the caliper. This often the hardest part as you need to push the ring into the recess, which is allows a fight as you try not to puncture the dust seal. Once seated pull the dust cover out so the outer end fits into the recess on the piston. Move the piston in and out to ensure the dust cover stays in place.

Rear brake caliper disassembly FL MK2 - Skoda Octavia Mk II

Thanks mate. I've tried tapping the shaft through the caliper but it won't budge. I was a bit hesitant as I didn't want to damage anything and didn't know which way it was supposed to go anyway. I've even given it some heat. Do I need to give it a harder bash or even press it out? Also, I take it there's a spring somewhere on the shaft? It's a bloody nightmare and I needed a special spline drive m14. You dont have any room to get a long enough bar in. Its probably much easier in a garage up on a proper lift. then the ground wouldn't get in the way and you could use a longer bar. There is nothing wrong with people maintaining their cars, but these cars have modern materials, processes and sometimes need particular tools. BRISKODA is owned and operated by Summit 360 Ltd, registered in England & Wales, company number 05710517.Absolutely spot on. Don't waste your money on snap on. .when you can get these for a fraction of the price I think I am getting myself mixed up, you are correct there is no need to remove it, I was remembering when I had to change something else which required it's full removal!

This is correct. One of the places that does not use stretch bolts is the front caliper carrier. These can be re-used if clean and undamaged. I know this question has been asked before but I can’t find any posts even using the search (could be me searching wrong) Designed for use on Chrysler and Land Rover VM engines, Laser Tools new Spline Bit, M14 x 100mm Long 1/2"D (part 4147) can also work on the lower ball joints on VW Transporter/T4 vehicles.I know this is an old thread, but the post by CWARD is of interest to me. I'm currently restoring an old caliper off my Octy PD 1.9Tdi Estate and I cannot figure out how to remove the handbrake spindle. Everything else is off but I need to get the spindle out as it's damaged from being seized. Is it possible to get this spindle out, or is it new caliper time? There will be all the usual people that say they have re-used them with no issue etc etc but that is what it says quite clearly in the factory manual. Personally I will occasionally use some of the less critical bolts again, only if I know for certain they were stretched no more than once previously. Bigger ones or anything on my brakes I replace each time. I see that Irwin do some removers for this. Anyone used them with success pls,or know any other way. I used wd40 before trying but it's an absolute **** Wind the piston in, remove the arm for the handbrake from the rear of the caliper. With a rubber hammer or a piece of wood tap the bolt the handbrake mechanism into the caliper. This will push the piston out a bit, then using air blow the piston out. A foot pump will do if you don’t have a compressor. Use the plastic tapered connector that comes with pumps and apply it to the brake pipe inlet after you’ve removed all the brake fluid. Otherwise use some grips to remove the piston. I wouldn’t recommend reusing the pistons as replacements are cheap enough. The piston will come out with the handbrake mechanism attached and it simply screwed off from there. Once seal and piston are fitted and ready to be rewound fully into the caliper, either use a proper tool or improvise with wide pipe grips to grip the very end of the piston and rotate bit by bit to screw it in.

Thank you to everyone else also, this has given me far more confidence to do the work and what tools are needed!With mating/sliding parts lightly lubricated with fresh brake fluid, insert the fluid seal in the caliper, slide the dust seal over the piston, offer the piston/seal to the caliper and work the piston around like stirring a bowl to help the dust seal pop into place.

The new seals are an absolute pain to put in, the piston will need to be cleaned also but as mentioned above they will be scored or even pitted. Will get you by a few thousand but not a permanent solution. Buy new when can. The reason they are tight is they are stretch bolts. VW group use them on most of their suspension and brake components. The welder is a good way of applying heat exactly where you need it. Much better than a wimpy blowtorch. Thank you, I thought it was a M14! I'll buy one tonight, they will have to come off to get at the seals properly! Having read what the others have said it would seem these ones wind out!

Depending on the depth/amount of any corrosion you may be able to clean it up with some very fine sandpaper. Obviously this will only be a temporary repair but it will last a while - monitor for fluid loss. The views expressed herein are those of the individual contributors and not necessarily those of BRISKODA or SKODA. Most other large bolts are 200Nm+180° And should be replaced, as should the 90Nm+90° bolts for the rear carrier. It is all in the manual ...RTFM
