regular x-type.

post back if you have x-type sport.

you will have to use a brake caliper piston retractor tool (206-080+ and crankshaft pulley/damper remover (303-588). then you can fully retract the rear brake caliper piston into the housing.


see picture.

I have already rented the tool and tried it. it won't budge. I bought a new caliper and threw the old one into the woods. Problem solved.

The problem with this format is that I asked the question days ago. My car sat torn apart for several days while I waited for a solution. Finally I could wait no longer and I just bought a new caliper. You need to figure out a way to speed up the process.
