If you don't push the pistons back into the calipers, you can't get the new pad in.

It's nice, but I have never used one yet and I have done many brake jobs.

You can get one cheap at places like Harbor Freight. You can get one for less than $20 everyday. They are plenty accurate for what we do. If I was rebuilding motors, I would invest in a good Proto or Snap On.

Not to necro-bump, but do you guys suggest bleeding the lines as well? I just got a new-to-me G and the rears are gone. Was going to replace this weekend. Might as well bleed, but wanted to get your take. Thanks.
