                  You may find it easier to open the bleed nipple as you wind the piston in,then close,fit pads and check level.

                          you will need a bleed bottle for this and brake fluid can damage and stain paint or anything else is touches and also to stop air going back into the brake lines

                          undo the cap to the brake fluid reservoir and keep an eye on the level as you rewind the piston, if the level gets to high you can use a syringe or similar to remove the excess fluid

                          and when rewinding the piston it helps to spray a little bit of wd40 where the piston meets the rubber boot, if the boot sticks to the piston and twists it will tear and let dirt in and ruin the caliper

                            Thanks for the advice. I have a one man bleeding kit so will attach that.

                              Well what an easy job that was. Think it took long nger to jack it up and take the wheel off than it did to change the pads
