If anybody's on this thread..."ask for the brake piston screw tool"...who would you ask?
autozone o'reillys etc ? Dealer parts department? Job in progress and trouble getting the piston to retreat enough to allow remounting calipers over new pads. Thanks in advance.

I did all my brakes the other week. I had a tool for rear piston but none of the universal slots would fit.

You can rent the tool at Advance Auto for basically free. The brake tool kit is $100 charge ( put it on a debit or CC ), once you return it they refund all your money.

I used it and it took about 1 min and i had my caliper on. For the front you can just use a c clamp. Make sure you open your brake fluid cap, put a rag around it in case any comes out, in my case it did not.

Hope that helps
