brake tool Audi

[walian at att.net]

Hello all,

  I ended up taking a pipe and cutting two slots out of
it. It worked really well. The pipe was approx 1.5ft
long and just the right size for the piston. Though I
need to bleed the brakes because of air in the line from
not getting to the bleeder screw fast enough. One hand
was used to hold the caliper and the other to turn the
piston and push it in.
