Default Where can i get a rear caliper piston tool?

I need to change my rear brake pads this week..

I've asked a few people local to me and no-one has a piston tool to wind it back in.

Where can i get one from? and how much are they?

Disc brake servicing can be so much simpler using this devise for separating pistons in their callipers. Nicely made with adjustable blackened steel spreader plates, chromed screw & linking bar.
  • Easily and quickly separates pistons in their callipers
  • Can be driven by integral tommy bar, ˝" socket drive or 21mm wrench

Erm, that's not what i'm after.

I'm after a tool that 'winds' the piston back in not 'forces' it back in....

for the sake of a few quid, get one to keep

but do bare in mind that some will have a different thread to that found in the caliper so you will need to tighten/loosen the tool as and when required or you can do yourself and injury

Smit, not far from the coast mate, Trimley.

If you still want to borrow it I should be going to the Suffolk RS meet tonight if you want to meet at Copdock around 7.45 so I can give it to you then as I will be passing. Or do you see Pete (Gooey) very often as I can give it to him this afternoon.
