Rear caliper tool
Apparently the cube socket i have from autozone wont work when turning the pistons in on the rear calipers, does anyone know where i can get what will work that i dont have to order?

Hey man...didn't you read my last post? The autozone here didn't have the brake kit that everyone says they have (and I tried every other shop in town) - or they wanted to rent it for $150. Anyway, it's on sale HERE if you can't find it.

Just called autozone by me... They say they lend out the tool set for $35 refundable deposit.. Ill try that, hopefully it works.

When i did mine autozone had the cube but not the right size so what to do is get a "C" clamp and put it on so its pushing the piston back and take a pair of vise grips and screw it back in just make sure you dont clamp onto the dust seal. Alot of people do it this way if you dont have the tool, just keep tension on the piston so its easier to turn back in with the vise grips.

RE: Rear caliper tool
Ok I got the caliper tool kit.. Here is a pic... It is missing one of the plates, which I hope is not the one I need... Can anyone point out the plate that will work with the rear calipers?...........Any excuse to use my digital camera...
