    Both pads were worn pretty much the same. I think I need to unscrew the bleed screw and use a C clamp over the piston to push it back in.

    I will take it to garage if I can't do it by Sat, however, I've done all the work but just can't get the caliper over the new pads so that's rather frustrating lol.

    Thanks for everyones help!

    If you undo the bleed nipple without a bleed kit then make sure you close it again whilst still pushing in the piston.If you don't you might suck in air your brakes won't work efficiently.

    Just borrow a rather long G clamp from some one at work and that worked a treat. I do still need to bleed my brakes so we'll try to do that next week (as it won't be delivered till Sat).

    Thanks for all the help everyone!

    I'd suspect some sort of easybleed system.
    That apart, if the op's struggling with vauxhall pads, stick to garages for your work.
