    It is impossible to push the piston back with a pair of pliers!

    The piston at the back pushes back while TURNING

    you must use a PISTON PUSHBACK which pushes back while turning

Hello, just a quick question about the clip, on my car there was only one clip on the right rear brake, nothing on the left, is this normal?

And what is this clip for?

Should the wear indicator turn off automatically as soon as new pads are installed?

Thank you and kind regards.
