Well I finished yesterday putting on my brothers rear brakes on the g20... now I know theres a tool that can make life easier and can puch the caliper and twist it at the same time...

I need the tool that pushes the rear calipers back.. where could I buy this tool?? ive looked on autoparts, and sears and they dont have it...

advance auto parts. its a lil square thing that hooks up to a 3/8 extension. You want to use the one that has four corners to it...they kind of have an angle facing toward the middle of the tool.

Looks like this.... you should be able to get it at any autoparts store.

interesting. I've always used a needle-nose for the rears and a C-clamp for the front.


Wait... you can do a complete motor swap that couldn't be done... and you didn't know this? :tongue:

Well the cool thing about it is that a 1/2" socket fits in there and you find the right side that fits the caliper put the socket in the opposite side.. put it against the caliper.. push and turn. Works pretty easy..
