Best tool in the box

[Rabb]

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.
- Works a treat!

I just use my fingers - never had a problem and they're free.

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

Boring I know but, over the many years, I have a good friend. Household as well as mechanical. Vice, clamp, spanner, extra hand and, yes, on occasion, hammer.
I give you...
