    to push the piston back when bleeding the brakes. drill and tap a 6mm thread in an old fixed brake pad open the bleed valve a screw will push the piston to the back

    Good call there. I would not have thought of that.

    Hi Chris,

    very good idea !

    I just spent some money (30,-Euros special price) for this tool in workshop quality.

    Main reason was to be able to “reset” the pistons in a four piston fixed caliper on my girlfriends Yamaha YZF600R.

    Could not imagine how to handle four pistons at the same time 🙂

    Cheers, Michael

    😳 😳 😕

    I’ve just used a screwdriver before?

    started the piston moving then just pushed it back with my thumbs?

    Hi Tango,

    not to bad with the single piston caliper of a Twin.
    As long as you can push the piston with your fingers, everything is ok.

    Used my tool the first time today to reset the pistons in a Z750B2 rear brake and it worked perfectly 🙂

    Cheers, Michael
