Thats the point of the tool, to push the piston back in. Its the same as doin a rear brake job. You have to get it twisted and pushed and the same time. Doesnt matter if its 1/4" or 2", you still have to push it in the same way.. And those little cubes SUCK

why rent the caliper removal kit when u can get the cube thing for alot cheaper and u will never have to worry about not having the right tool again. whatever just me, everybody has their own style of getting stuff done.

the cube has raised points different distances apart for the different calipers, then you put a socket and extension through the center hole and twist till the calipers is seated home
