I assume you mean the brake "calipers." There is a special tool available for this purpose, but you can either use a C clamp to compress the piston back into the caliper after you remove the pads, or you can insert a flat blade screwdriver between the pad and rotor and pry outward to force the piston back in. Apply a steady force and give the piston time to retract. You are forcing the brake fluid back up into the master cylinder, so it takes some time. Be careful not to damage the rotor or the piston seal while prying.

Having this problem with changing rear brake pads on new Beetle. Could not get piston to return to a position that would accomodate the new pads.

Saw pic of tool on dieselgeek.com/golf_iv_main.php - it cost $49, and seems to be usable on most VW and Audi calipers. There is a special nut with two spigots which engage in the slots on the piston surface allowing rotation to be enforced. Looks like you would rotate the piston first and then compress it to required position. Have not bought tool. The Dev
