I tried that once. Works but not that great. Get the real deal - free rental from Autozone.

Default I'll let you know...>>

next week. I've done the channel-lock trick which works fine but this should be easier. Picked up one of these to do the Mini (similar Brakes)...Cheap enough to have around..

Default Yep, used one just like that last weekend, worked fine

<center><img src="http://hock.net/images/bmw/compressing-caliper-piston.jpg"></center><p>Took off just the top caliper bracket bolt and let the caliper pivot on the bottom bolt. Pulled it away from the rotor and used this exact style clamp along with the cube you posted. Used a screwdriver to turn the cube while increasing pressure on the clamp.

Default Took like 10 minutes per side, really not that bad.

I do need to invest in the real tool tho, just because The Stoptech pistons I was able to push in just by pressing against them with my fingers.

Default I used this one last weekend. It works great and is very

cheap. $26 or so. Has an adapter that fits great. Also works on the front.<ul><li><a href="http://www.audipages.com/Tech_Articles/susp_whls_brake_steer/rearbrakes.html">http://www.audipages.com/Tech_Articles/susp_whls_brake_steer/rearbrakes.html</a</li></ul>
