I need to get a caliper compression tool for the rear calipers. I want to make sure I get the right one before I start working on the rear brakes. What do you guys have? Does anyone have a picture of what the rear caliper piston face looks like? I want to make sure the tool I get fits properly with out calipers. Thanks.

 

I've seen this one recommended and it's pretty reasonable. It's what I plan on buying.

Funny.....I just got back from there and that is exactly what I picked up. It should work perfect.

Thanks Gary. I saw this write up before and was just about to go searching for it.

Preparing for VIR....

 

A kit just like Harbor Freight is available from Advance Autoparts too.
Check out shipping and compare for best total cost. Advance ordered mine and had it in a day or 2.

 

free tool loaner from autozone FTW. I used needle nose plyers on mine. Worked out well

 

FTW? I paid $20 for my set with a single driver. Two round trips to pick up, then return the tool costs you more than that in gas, let alone your time.

 

Harbor Freight has the 18 piece set mentioned above on sale now at $39.99. Picking up mine today.

 

^^^^Agree. Plus everyone "needs" more tools......

 

I rode my bike there. The money I saved I spent on beer.
