Default Emergency Repost! Need rear brake tool - Bary Area - more...

Need to borrow the rear brake tool to push the piston back in the rear barke caliper.
Going to track event tomorrow.
Any help appreciated.
If you don't have the tool a suggestion where to buy it today will work too.

TIA!

if you can't find one, you can always use a c-clamp from your local hardware store.

C-clamp doesn't work well because the piston needs to be rotated and pressed...thanks.

this one's a pain, but works. It should be available at almost any generic auto parts shop. You stick a ratchet in it, and apply pressure as you turn.

Crappy tool plus an air ratchet works really really fast.
