   I am going to be changing the front discs and pads on my saxo later this week. I have read a number of different descriptions on how to 'push' the pistons back in. Before I strip them, can anyone tell me if these just push straight back or do I have to turn them to push them back? If so clockwise or anti-clockwise looking from the outside in.
   Thanks

   They should just push back in, it's the rear ones you need to twist and push, it's sime to do the front. Easier than the back imo

   While everything is together just pull the caliper from the back towards your self and this should push the piston in enough.
