Lisle makes a little cube with different-sized/spaced protrusions designed
to fit a variety of brake piston faces with the notches cut into their
perimeters. Usually available at FLAPS. It fits on an extension for a
ratchet wrench, but I don't remember which size (1/2" or 3/8" drive). I
think it's tool # 28300.
