Lol. Yeah I ended up going to a friends house who had a lift, torque wrench and impact gun in order to break the bolts loose.

Roy - Yep, that is exactly what I ordered. Sorry I did not link it originally, I'm way out of it today (being sick sucks).

You can rent the tool from Auto Zone as well, free, LOL. I replaced both brakes and it was easy...

I cheated and used a cheap caliper separator from auto parts store and a hammer with the bleed screw open. Made a mess but worked and trashed the caliper tool as well but I had to do something as it was 11pm on a work night.

Yeah I'm not completely sure how he got it all taken apart and pushed in because I wasn't there when he did it. But I imagine it was similar to what you said.

I bought the caliper piston tool from Harbor Freight for like $20. Definitely couldn't have done it without it. Overall the job isn't too difficult, just time consuming and dirty
