Ah so that mythical cubical tool with various key shapes for specific rear calipers does not need to be used here? I know that some accords need that cube tool with shapes as a key to do some stuff having to do with brakes. What is the certainty of this? I don't have that tool...

generally all rear disc brake systems with a lever style parking brake need the cube to turn the piston back in. usually you can get away using a needle nose or small channel locks to grab the piston. just dont tear the dust boot.

Where can i get this cube? The hubs I have never came with it, since it was off a junk car.

If you take that bolt out it will remove the bracket for the caliper. Stick with the first one.

If you're doing a pad slap, just remove the lower 12mm bolt on the caliper and swing it up.

If you're replacing/machining the rotors, everything must come off.
