What do you guys use to push the piston(s) back, when replacing the pads?? I should be getting my Project-Mu front pads in today, and just preparing for the swap. I'm only looking at the Brembo fronts right now.

I've always done my own break jobs (and everyone else's i know, lucky me), and always used a C-clamp to push the pistons back, but something tells me this isn't going to work with the Brembo calipers. I've checked the FSM, and it says to use a "disc brake piston tool", but where would I get one of these that work with my setup? I went by Sears, but none of the 3 types they had, appeared to be applicable to the Brembo calipers.

Over on my350z.com, someone stated to just use one of the worn out break pads. This sounds like its definately possible, assuming it doesn't take too much force to push back. Any help is appreciated guys!!

 

Yeah, you can use one of the old brake pads. Or you can use channel lock pliers and a towel to protect the gold paint. Check out this link to DIY

 

Thanks for the link. If i can't find what I'm looking for, I may end up going some home-made route like that.
