Hi all
I'm going to revert back to my old ways and start doing a few
maintenance jobs on our vehicles
Is there a universal tool to push the piston back when changing pads?
BMW 330
Grand Cherokee
Mecedes vito van
Citeron berlingo van
I though that there may be a kit on the market that does most
AFAICS there are two kinds - the standard wind back type that has a plate the shape of a brake pad like this:

And some other kind for irritating calipers that have no access for such a tool (ie, the Girlings on my bird's car).
However, you should only really need them for back calipers. Front calipers should go in with finger pressure. As I learnt when I crowbarred back some pistons on my birds car then wondered why they were seizing - they were absolutely filthy when I managed to get them back out...
