new brake pads...help (pics)
today i decided to change the rear brake pads. i have a 99 a4fwd.
the problem i am facing is that when i took out the old wore down pads and went to out the new ones in they dont fit or course because you have to push back push rod. so thats where my problem lies.how do you push back that rod so the new pads will fit?
ive tried using clamps and relieving by bleeding out fluid but none seems to work.
please help
ive attached some pics so itll ask more clearly with what i need help with
where the arrow points is the push rod that i cant push back in(ive also circled it)

I could see someone with a pair of giant vicegrips and a clamp tearing through the boot and chewing up the head of the piston pretty bad....
in a pinch....just have your lady drive you to work in the morning...lol
