    help needed with rear disk install

    I have installed the front disks on my polo without any hassles.
    I am stuck witht the rear calipers. I can't compress the caliper.
    I have removed the handbrake cable, removed the caliper but cant compress it.
    Any clues to what I am missing here.

    They wind in, with a windback tool or a suitable pair of pliers maybe.

    Do they wind in clockwise or counter-clockwise?
