Howdy.
Today I was attempting to replace my front suspension with some coilovers that i bought second hand. Being the retard that I am, I forgot one of the top spring seats when I went to pick it up. Not disheartened, I decided to fit one on, to make sure everything went on fine. When i was re-fitting the caliper onto the brake rotor, silly me forgot to put wood between the pads to keep them apart. So a mate and I decided that bleeding the fluid out would be a super idea and would solve our problem.
So I loosened the bleed nipple on the caliper and had my mate push the brake pedal in and out to get all of the fluid out of them system to refit the caliper when all of a sudden we heard something drop from the other side of the car. Stupid me forgot about the other calpier not having having a rotor to bite onto and the piston from inside the caliper has found its way out and onto the floor. I have tried to put it back in many different ways but none have worked as yet.
Does anyone know the proper way to refit the piston?
Should i just take it to a brake shop and have them do it?
Is there anything that could possible have been damaged in the caliper from my stupidity?
Sorry I don't have any pics, I can take some tomorrow if anyone is interested.
Thanks for reading, any advice is appreciated.
Cheers
zac
