hey guys , i thought i was good at the mech part cause ive got an old xy falcon and ive changed the bake pads many times. im a new owner of a tp magna. so heres my prob, i removed the old pads and put in the new ferodo pads but the space isn't wind enough to get over the disc. i thought the brake clyd might have been ceased so i got my girl to slightly sqeeze the pedal and there not. i wanted to know if theres a trick to getting the clyd pushed right back so theres enough clearence to get the caliper back on the disc, i know it not that hard a job so please help any way u can. cheers

2 ways.

1. undo the bolt holding the brake line into the caliper, then just push the cylinder in with ease. Will require you to bleed your brakes after this.

2. Buy a brake caliper compressor and just compress the cyliner in.
