Yes, I used it just a couple days ago. Fits perfectly.
I originally bought this tool for my Mustang. The multi-sided cube tool didn't fit the rear calipers on that car. The notches in the piston on the 8 are almost identical to the ones on the Mustang. |
Matt-man,
>Yes, I used it just a couple days ago. Fits perfectly. That's great!! What's the manufacturer for it and what's the part#? And where can you buy this tool? PepBoys, AutoZone etc?? TIA, Pete |
It doesn't have any markings on it, and I've had it for over 5 years so I have no idea who made it. I got it at a Pep Boys here in California.

Okay, this is getting really crazy :eek: . Standard pliers are not C-clamps! And what do people call needle nose pliers in other parts?
Here are the correct tools/pictures from Sears: Lisle Disc Brake Piston Tool (for the rear pistons) Craftsman Disc Brake Pad Spreader (for the front pistons) I've never used these. My c-clamp and needle nose pliers worked fine. rx8cited |

Yes, C clamp for front and needle nose pliers for rear if your mechanically inclined.

Autozone path works. It combines the clamp with turning, takes like 30 seconds, no time at all. You buy the kit, then return it. Harbor freight sells the same kit on sale for like $30. case is a little cheaper. I think it is on sale now in the store. web site has a dual piston one for $44. They also have the cube for $8. the needle nose route was really hard on mine. But, brakes were 6 years old.
