If you do your own bike servicing I can wholehartedly recommend buying a Laser 5180 Motorbike Brake Piston Rewind Tool.
When doing brakes it can save you hours of pain & frustration trying to get pistons back where they should be to install new pads.
The best £43 I have ever spent! (Amazon)
P.S. I believe that the manufacturer of this tool is linked to Snap-on (So you're getting a precision quality long lasting bit of kit)
I tend to use G claps and a piece of wood to protect the pistons. That cost me £5. The again I am a cheapskate.
Tried the G-Clamp & Wood version - I have to do it so often (High Mileage) that I needed a better & quicker method.Quote:

lump hammer :cool:
As long as you release the reservior cap, there shouldnt be much resistance whilst pushing the pistons back, that said, its always nice to have the proper kit for the job :)
For a 'One time buy' it's worth the cash.
not really for bikes but a impact driver has done me well for stubborn nuts on cars
i am a spanner ??
Same here. To tight. Might make one if can be ar5ed.Quote:
