Hey all, trying to change out the rear brakes on my 01 jetta, I guess you not only have to compress but also turn this piston on VAG cars to get the new pads on there, any idea where I can buy this tool? Or any tuner in the Seattle area wanna let me put a deposit down on theirs so I can use it over xmas?

Thanks.

and you just absolutely have to do it now. You can take some locking plyers with a wide opening to the pistion (don't not let it catch any of the rubber boot and turn the piston clockwise. It will take a long time, but will get the job done.

Thanx much!

...I used one of these universal Lisle brake piston "cube" tools I bought at my local Pep Boys for like $10. It worked fine:

But the better (and most likely easier tool to use) is this one sold by ECS Tuning which allows you to apply presure and turn the piston at the same time:

If you have an Autozone near you...they will let you rent the tool.

Rob...did you get your wheels to clear the brakes?

I'm running the stock running gear now. I think I might get some different/lighter wheels.
