just a quick question. i changed the rear brake pads on my audi using the wind back tool, i done the o/s first, piston winds in right hand down. now go to the n/s using the left hand wind tool, piston wont wind in. should it wind in left hand down? because it wont , but it turns right hand down but just spins and wont go in. is the calliper siezed?

When I did mine, I'm sure they were both clockwise to wind in, as I expected. I have never heard of land hand down wind tool.

Both pistons have right hand threads.

ok. cheers. i tryed winding it in that way but it was just turning, so im wondering if the calliper's knackerd

The piston has to be pushed inwards and turned clockwise at the same time. The correct tool does this.
If there is no pressure on the piston, the conical nut inside will not lock to the sleeve and the piston cannot be screwed back.
