Tool for Rear Brake Caliper
Doing pads on the car and I know you gotta' turn the rear piston into the caliper instead of straight pressing it. I bought the lame cube tool but none of its sides would fit into the cut grooves of the piston. Any other way to turn&press the piston in without cutting my hands apart using needle nose pliers? Thanks.

RE: Tool for Rear Brake Caliper
Go to Autozone or Pepboys, they have a tool you can buy (it is like $10 so I don't think they loan it out but you would never know 
)
I was trying to find a pic on the web but came up with nothing, it has the handle of a screwdriver (mine is red) and at the top instead of a philips or flat head it has a cup shape that goes right over the cylinder that allows you to twist and push. Good luck!

The cube works, you just have to put a ton of pressure on it when twisting. You have to twist it for the caliper to go back, other wise it wouldn't go back for me .Yes, it's a pain in the ***.
