 Excuse me if that has already been answered elsewhere, do the front calliper pistons on a 2007 C4 Coupe have to be wound back or can they just be pushed straight back in with a clamp?

Many Thanks

 Pushed back, but not sure you'll get a clamp in. Most use a thin pad and a big screwdriver. Syphon off some brake fluid from the master cylinder first as they are quite big pistons and the fluid level will rise. Also a good idea to use a can of brake cleaner before pushing them back.
