Rear Caliper Piston- Twist in or push?

firechicken99 · 03-11-2011, 12:47 PM

I just purchased my first e90, an '07 335i and plan on doing the brakes myself when the service light comes up (should be soon judging by the mileage before service countdown). I have done brakes on all my other cars but, do the 335i's have the type of rear caliper pistons which need to be turned back into the caliper? Or can they just be C-Clamped like the front?

Thanks!!

They can be pushed back in with a C-Clamp.
