ah, you borrowed it, free...

if they gave it to you free...I'd be waiting in line (even though I can get by without one )

I usually struggle through with pliers on that one. Never had these specialty tools at my disposal. Haha!

next time you do 'em, try one of those block things that goes on a ratchet.

:bowdown:

I -HATED- pliers, that thing, ooh, magic and awesome!

Wat. I turned mine easily with one of these

lol

for anyone who doesn't know what that is, it's to pull plastic rivets (which are reusable)

We could. But we didn't pick the car life because it was simple and easy to do things. We do it because by the end of the day, we are all doing this. :banghead:

On a serious note though, I don't spend enough time working on my brakes and when ever you pick up pads, etc., it's something that typically slips my mind.

Its just not really necessary unless turning the piston is proving difficult. I had no trouble at all, but if I did I would rent or buy the tool needed.

I buy, not rent

That's my main box at work, I have another there, a couple at home, and a box of 'spares'

hehehe

oh, if you look in close, you see this:

I made this, the whole thing. It plugs in, no charger or battery. Well, it's about to get a small battery, I want to use it as backup for when I add an alarm, and add keyless entry...

hahaha...
