Is the tool required for winding the rear calipers back freely available, and not too expensive ??
I'll be doing mine soon and was thinking of getting one, anybody got a spare, or know where I can get one ??
cheers

I also bought one of these brake cubes. A Sykes Pickavant tool (which are about the best you can buy).
It was about £6.00 including the postage. Saved time, and did the job brilliantly.
You CAN do it with pliers, in fact I tried it when I was doing my own brakes, but with the cube it's just sooooo easy!
Does other cars too, so it's something that once you've bought it, you've got it for good. Might even make your money back letting your mates hire it!!

You can do it with pliers and the like but to avoid skint knuckles and much swear wordage it's best to invest in the little cube thingumybob.

Chaps,
looking at buying one of these brake cube things as all pads will need doing soon. But what do you use for the front brakes? Will this cube thing do those too?

On front calipers no need to turn piston as it is pushed back in.
