Rear caliper question
I am installing pads and rotors on 01 TT Quattro 225 and have an interesting situation.When I used the rotor tool on passenger side the piston returned to the home position in the clockwise direction.When I used the same procedure on the driver side, the piston is very tight, is it just stuck or do I need to turn the piston in the counter clockwise direction.

The other way is to loosen the bleed screw and then try. However this would mean you would have to bleed the brakes (which you might already be planning to do if you are changing the fluid).
