<All> Brake Piston Tool FOUND!!

["Al Powell" <APOWELL@agcom.tamu.edu>]

For those of you dealing with the need to screw in the rear pistons 
on japanese and german-made brakes....common to the Datsun/Nissan 
Z-cars, and to the Audi cars.  (Some Audis may use a hex wrench to 
turn in the piston, but my 1990 200 does not- it has two slots in the 
piston surface.)

Last night, I found that Lisle Corp. makes a special tool, #28300, 
specifically for screwing back in those rear pistons.  It costs about 
$12 and is VERY, VERY MUCH worth the money.  Trust me, if you're 
about to do a brake job, you NEED this.  Lisle Tools are available at 
most parts stores - they're the ones on the red and white cards.

This is a really creative design.  It's a hollow cube....each side of 
the cube has a different configuration of studs sticking out - there are 
sides to fit pistons with two, three and four slots in the surface.  
On each side between the studs is a 3/8" socket recess for a ratchet 
wrench extension.  A VERY clever design.

Check this out!
