Chap at Halfords recc Shock & Unlock or 3in1 High Performance Penetrant Spray to loosen up the brake nipple nuthttp://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_189604_langId_-1_categoryId_255223 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QuLExeu3UEM this was very important - the cube / piston needs to be wound CLOCKWISE !!! Must have been the pressure I was applying that got mine back in slightly when turning anti-clockwise  |

Clockwise=in,so yeah it does!!! Turn a bolt clock wise and it tightens/goes in,anti-clockwise and it loosens/comes out Yeah just undo cap so there is less resistance for the fluid being pushed back in  ________________________________________ Red GTB1756 powered Fabia VRS daily driver,LBSC Gti6 eater........Mac1 ZR R1 kit car build in progress. |

If you unscrew the reservoir cap, you will achieve what you need to do without loosening off the nipple. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |

Success! So rewarding getting the job done without going tut garage & knowing it's done properly  Piston went in easily (turning clockwise, ahem) with reservoir cap slackened off. Managed to wind other piston with screwdriver shaft, although had to go to local tyre place to slacken the wheel bolts - bent the nut release bar (? aka strong arm) trying to get em off (turning anti-clockwise!) Awesome help, thanks again |
