Rear Caliper Tool Dimension?

[Frat-man-du]

I know you need a tool to push back the piston on the rear calipers. Does any one know the dimension betwen the holes or the tool size needed? I think it is :

1.656" Drive Adapter Caliper Attachment

But cant be sure. I want to get the right adapter the first time.


Thanks!

This is what I purchased. I did not want to run into trying to purchase just the one specific one and end up with the wrong one. So, I purchased that kit.

Thanks, I was hoping to avoid that, but that is pretty inexpensive and you can never have enough tools!

Harbor freight sells a brake kit for a pretty cheap price.

Hey Frat... I have a set I'd send you to use if you like.

You've been a good friend I'd trust you...

Needle-nose pliers worked for me, no special tools needed.

Thanks Rich, but I need to do my brakes by Friday for a trip this weekend. I was hoping to find just the size needed and get a loaner tool frm auto fart, er zone. The have a small kit with only three sizes but dont want to waste my time if it wont work.

which is 1.625"

good luck,

nothing beats having the right tool,but you can do it with a needle nose pliers as others have said,i did it many times that way before buying the right tool,

~$30 harbor freight.includes 8 or 9 different adapters to do almost every kind of disc brake in the world.
