What tools needed???

[Macey]

I need to change the rear brake pads on my 2001 Tuscan. Could someone tell me if I need to obtain any special tools for pushing the piston back into the caliper. I have read somewhere that they are Ford ones and as such need something that turns and pushes at the same time. Sorry if it doesn't make sense but don't know how else to put it.

Cheers

I've always used one of these...



As you're pushing the piston in you can turn it at the same time (carefully so as not to damage the rubber seal using a pair of these...



The piston is on a very slow helix so it doesn't take too many turns and Bob's your Uncle.

One of these for the sake of a score its a no brainer

I usually use a pair of pointed nose pliers but may invest in one of the above, I could then save on the skin loss.

Yep - much easier when you have the rewind tool.

I borrowed one from my local kwik-fit man (fellow Tiv owner) which worked a treat!
