    I am trying to replace my brake pads on the rear of my 407 but the cylinder
    won't push in. I think it is may be due to the hand brake which seems to be
    an automatic adjustment but I can't get it back to get the new pads in.
    I don't think its seized as the cylinder turns, I tried to turn it back
    thinking it unscrewed to adjust.
    Does anyone know how it works.
    Thanks

    You normally need a special tool for this. Sometimes there are generic
    tools with adaptors to suit the calipers on specific vehicles.
    like this one.
