With Lucas calipers does the piston push back in or does it need to be turned as with Alpha rears? Just tried with tool and didnt seem to want to press back. thanks in advance. Gary

Yes. Piston is identical in appearance to those fitted to Astra. What to you use to turn it back?

Crap small pic.... But this
That'll fit into the 2 holes in the piston itself. I'll find a bigger pic for you.

I've just checked ebay, but it's a full kit.
I Bought mine from a motor parts shop. I don't know what you have down there, but if there is a parts shop that sells tools, i'd tell them what you need and i'd be suprised if they don't have it.
