Brake wind-back tool for a Disco 2

Google is not my friend - its faceless, humourless, gives me a huge choice yet offers me little or no advice.

Was this a random find or are you recommending this fiendish looking contraption for a reason?
 
Slealey do a tool £20 -£25 I've always used a tyre lever or a G clamp but sometimes they don't fit some calipers.
U need a tool to retract modern Honda's pistons as the screw or wind back in, they must be threaded...strange :)

VW Golfs are the same & they're a bastid to get set right. Water pump pliers does the trick though. :D
 
My missus's vauxhall has got them stupid pistons you have to screw back in. G clamp works fine as it screws em in as you tighten it. Tyre levers have always been good for me though.
 
large screw driver, unless you have calliper handbrake on the particular car-then you need wind back tool

Most modern cars have wind back rear calipers its the hand brake mechanism you are resetting when winding the piston back in, some now even come with a left hand threaded one on one side, oh joy another tool to buy :D but i like buying tools :D
 
i am with every one else, a large lever or G clamp does me. I had a 1973 rover P6 that had the screw back pistons on inboard brakes, a nightmare to do.
The new audis have to be wound back through the diagnostic computer.
