Help- 91 CQ brake question

[Fred Munro]

On some rear calipers you have to use a c-clamp bearing on top of the
ratchet used to turn this cube to keep the cube engaged in the piston and
help move the piston in. The cube is not a perfect fit for the Audi piston
but it does the job.
BTDT on my S4.

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.
