I used a G clamp.
I can only go on my experience on the 2000TC I owned. And it works
just as well on the Rover 600's as well.
Just a thought, but you do realise we're talking about the _rear_
brakes, don't you?
Yes. - the inboard fucking things on the P6.
My Rover 600 was a 2L with discs all round. So was my 420. In fact, the
Capri is the only car I've had without rear discs since before the turn
of the century.
As a matter of interest what did the 'other' end of the g-clamp bear on?
The P6 has just a tin cover over the mechanism on that side rather than
the cast iron that is more usual.

May I butt in - But I would have thought the pitch of the thread on the
G cramp would have been different to that in the caliper, so you would
have conflicting results. So the push to turn ratio is not 1:1 using the
cramp.
I haven't seen a Rover caliper only others which you had to screw the
piston back in and that was for the hand brake operation. These needed a
tool which gripped the piston and you turned it for resetting. No way
could a G cramp be used in this situation. |

Think most here agree with you. ;-)

Indeed, both of which Conor seems to 'thick' to understand. :~( |

Oh yes there was - on both accounts - so thank *you* for proving
that
you never took your "C&G Motor Vehicle Craft Studies"...
That was the CGLI 381, dumbass, not the 383.
|
No Conor, it *was* called "C&G Motor Vehicle Craft Studies", you have
just proved that you never took anything near the quality of
apprentership I took, you basically took a collage course that taught
you enough to find work in the motor trade [1] as there were no
apprenterships (as such) by the mid 1980s...
[1] the courses I took could only be taken once employed in a
apprentership |

Not a hope. If this is the design of caliper I think, you _don't_ want
to push it all, merely rotate it and let it wind itself back in (I'm
familiar with this Girling design, but don't know if it's what the P6
used) It's not at all useful to apply any sort of axial pressure - it
can't help, it can only jam the thread. |

I'd agree - but not having tried it and can't anymore I'll give Conor 10%
of the benefit of the doubt.
The Girling unit used by the P6 is described as a swing caliper design.

Is this the type of tool which "attaches" to the piston with the
lugs?
|
Yes, the following examples are the correct tools, but not for the P6,
which don't have 'lugs', rather a 'L' shaped bit of sprung steel that
engages with the pad or retracting tool.
It be seen in the second example that it will be almost impossible to
apply excessive pressure to the piston. |
