Pass. side rear brake cyl. stuck !

[Kievskiy]

[Digga]

Did it freeze up on you?

kiev,

Did you figure it out yet? Are you refering to the cylinder being stuck pushed all the way out and not being able to get it back in for new pads?

[Kievskiy]

YES! :) that's what is going on, i cant push it back in at all, with or without fluid :( ?

Actually that thing is usually really hard to push in. I saw my tech do it for my 6 and he used a huge size tool to push it in, and he had a hard time especially because he forgot to release the hand brake first... And I mean the tool he used was not the type that most of us keep in our tool boxes for sure...

wow, well i guess i'll go to my mechanic 2morrow, i tried everything that i have, every tool, should i take it apart maybe? i hate when brakes make noise, grrrr

Do you have the screw in type? I had this problem mine. Just bought that cheap 3/8" drive universal brake tool at auto zone. Push really hard and twist clockwise. It seems like I tried for a while and it just sucked. Then it finally threaded in and it was a piece of cake after that. Here's a pic of the tool. Good luck.

yeah, i tried something like this but, my patience kills me, plus i need my car over the weekend, i called 034Motorsport and they will do it this time for me, next time when i will have more time i will do it, cause now it went all the way out and its not threading in.
Thanx for the picture i will def look for it in AutoZone. :)
Thanx Terry and Thanx guys for the input!
as always it was helpfull.

ahhh. So there is a special tool for this. A little spendy. Probably cheaper TO take it in every time.

Andrey, this is the type you really need:

The first time I tried to do my rear pads/rotors on my A4 several years ago, I discovered quickly that the little cube can't apply the extra pressure needed to get that piston to go back in.

For $25, you get a whole case of different adapters and you'll have it for life..
