[s-cars] Rear caliper piston: how to move it into the caliper

[Andrew B]

FYI, it looks like Autozone loans their OEM brake spreader/piston
turner tool.  I just called my local joint to see if the loan that
tool specifically and it is available.  I'm not sure if the piston
grooves will fit or if the threads are the appropriate angle but it
looks like all the others.  I was thinking about the cube but it looks
like some people have lots of trouble with it.  I sadly already bought
a piston spreader but it doesn't turn the pistons.

HTH,
