I have seen several issues about the rear brakes in other threads which I read but decided to start a new one.
My still beautiful P6 didn't pass the periodic vehicle inspection recently because the rear brakes didn't work at all including the hand brake.
I decided to first start changing the rear brake pads (because worn out) which on the left side I managed,to do by removing the drive shaft and the disc and than replaced the pads. I couldn't hear the rattling mechanism when i turned the piston cw but managed to get it back as far as possible, put the tag upwards and put the pads in, disc and refitted the drive shaft and so on.
Next day I started on the right hand side and then I had bad luck. The tag of the piston broke off and the piston is leaking a little bit.
Everything like on the other side very rusty, hardly moving and couldn't even get the inner pad out (only with a kind of brute force which very likely damaged the tag and probably also the piston).
What do I have to do to get this fixed and back working in a smart way? I think replacing the pads just isn't enough also on the left side it isn't
