What the heck is that?

 

It's from BORG tools....

It just attaches to a standard wrench and the prongs fit a variety of brake pistons, including ours. It makes it easy.

 

Please tell me that's the proper name for the company, and not some ST:NG horror.

 

I have both tools, for the 4-5 times a year I used the Harbor Freight kit it has work well.

 

Okay, I went to AutoZone and they have the same kit as a loaner...paid $55 for it but will get 100% back if I return it within 90 days...pretty good deal!

The tool works just fine...there's not much that can break on it...so I'm gonna return it next week and go to Harbor Freight and buy the same thing for $20.

Thanks for all your feedback and help. I'm ready for the track day now!

 

can this be purchased at most auto parts stores?

 

Got my at Advance Auto Parts which is a chain of autoparts stores around here. I think they are pretty widely available, inexpensive, and they work with most cars.

 

Yep, nice unit, pure fallacy on the $5 price ($11.95 @ Advance, OOS at AutoZone), and definitely made the job a lot easier this afternoon. I am thankful to the original poster for pointing out the tool, and thankful to the forum users for saving me a LOT of frustration with the rear calipers.

We have some nifty brakes on this beast. 14mm wrench, pair of narrow-jaw Vise-Grips, a 6" C-clamp, 3/8" drive and the "Borg Cube", pad change accomplished.
