Rear Brake tool


On the mustang world website they mention that in order to do the rear brakes you must turn and push the piston in at the same time. They said that there is a special tool or you could use pliers. I was wondering if someone can tell me exactly what the tool is called that would be used for doing my rear brakes. I drive a 2004 v6

lol i figured I could ask someone there, they are retarded though. The main requirement is that they speak Spanish because they are on the edge of a Mexican neighborhood. Most of them don't know shit. Anyone know the name by chance?

hey dont buy the cube thing. i bought it and it didnt work. none of the ends would fit right to allow u to turn it. the only thing i found that worked on our cars was the kit u rent from autozone. it looks like the second link cet2kill posted.

you can buy the cube and for some ppl i guess it works while others like me it wont

the cube is like 10 bucks....or you can can them 100 to rent this tool kit with like 10 peices and a clamp that attaches to the caliper and makes the job alot easier and then wen u return it you get every dime back

the only problem is that the ppl that work their mite not even know they carry the kit to run (at least they didnt in my case)

good tho tho

+1 - It's do-able with the cube, but it sucks.
