Haven't been there before on an Astra and I'd be grateful for any instructions for removing front & rear callipers and advice as to whether the pistons are push in or screw in. Many thanks. DS

Saved my bacon. The discs are a little worn but I think they'll be OK until next time. It's interesting that the rear pads and discs have worn more
