Default rewind tool

i used the same tool as stevo 48.
got it off ebay for under a fiver.
none of the pins fit exactly but if you grind 2 pins off on the 4 pin side then your laffing as it worked a treat.
brilliant piece of engineering and is cheap as chips.
let me know how you managed.

another good tip is to undo both retaining bolts, take the top one out completely move the caliper on the bottom bolt, then tighten up the bottom bolt. this way when you are turning piston, you can push at the same time, the caliper won't move and you've got both hands free. p.s i struggled before i got the "cube" i used a balljiont splitter, just so happened prongs were correct distance apart.

I bought a laser one in a case with about 6 different face plates. Very good and paid for itself several times over.

I used a basic cube tool from Halfords, was 7 or 8 quid i believe. I just to file down one of the sides to get the notches to fit, but it was only a slight adjustment. Here's the exact tool that I bought: https://www.halfords.com/tools/hand-...ve-221884.html
