Ok i have a 99 mustang which means i have the double piston set up on front and back...here is the problem, neither myself nor my roomate can find the damn pistons! i have done alot to my car, and everyone says changing breaks is pretty easy...does anyone have a picture of what the rear break pistons look like because neither of us could find them and neither of us are slouches with doing stuff to our cars...i would rather not spend 300$ if at all possible...i may sound like an idiot but someone please HELP!

it doesnt look like an engine piston if thats what you mean. its like a little hollowed out cylinder so it just looks like a hole in the caliper..

I've looked on everything i could possibly think of...i bought the cube tool as well, as everyone suggested to do and i really couldnt find it...do you know of anywhere that would have some better pics of it because the write up on mustangworld did basically **** for me cuz the guy was changing his front brakes on a 94 gt so the pictures were useless lol

i hate to sound like an idiot bro but i really dont see what everyone is talking about and neither does my roomate. There is no part of the breaks anywhere on the whole set up that would let me fit any piece of that cube tool. The thing that is really frustrating is that everyone says it is relatively simple!!! I am acually thinking that the last time i got my breaks changed they ****ed something up cuz i cant find $hit
