Anyone know if halfords will sell these? just took caliper off and cant get it back on as the piston has come out. i've found them online but they are like £60!!! its for a corsa c sri 1.8, the discs on the rear, it needs to be twisted and pushed in at the same time

found one on halfords. http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_214227_langId_-1_categoryId_71553

does anyone know if there are any issues with damaging brake fluid with one of these as i've heard rumours for some cars?

Always undo the bleed nipple and then wind it back.
Forcing fluid back upto the mc can flip the seals and knacker the mc.
