Yes, try Homeownershub. Your posting style seems ideally suited to that forum.
Alternatively, how about using a meaningful subject line and explaining what you?re trying to do?

Should that be "re-ring". And compress your 'rings'?
If not it makes as much sense as this doubled, "op het punt om mijn eerste zuiger te comprimeren en terug te spoelen ... tips? ...... nooit eerder gedaan ......."

Tip 1: make some sense. In the highly unlikely case that you actually do intend to rewind a piston, maybe start by explaining how that makes sense & what it means.

With the proper tool - as shown in that link - you don't have to push, as rotating the handle rotates the head of the tool and screws it forward at the same time.
As for direction. I have done them on Rover, Ford, Nissan and Vauxhall and they have all been clockwise. I can be sure of that, as I only have a clockwise version of the tool to do it and haven't encountered an anti-clockwise version yet.

I have more than one, not that it's overly relevant. You got the replies you asked for. If you're happy with only one person answering what you wanted, great.

You haven't helped yourself much this time either.
Next time you might find uk.rec.cars.maintenance would be a better group if you want people knowledgable in the field.

Is the OP talking about shoving the brake piston back into its housing, as one might do when changing pads? I've always just levered them, rather than using special tools. I wasn't aware that they should rotate in a particular direction as they move.

There used to be a ford just down the road, but there is a bridge there now?
Yes I know, but since you have to admit the subject was a little vague and the original message even more vague. Brian

Ah, is it a *brake* piston that the question is about?
