Default Want to borrow rear-caliper retracting tool

Does anyone in the peninsula/south bay have something that reliably works to turn the piston in the rear calipers? I got 3/4 of the way through chaning pads and lines tonight, but was unable to find anything that would realibly turn the pistons in the rear. Anyone wanna loan me a tool?

First thing i tried. None of my screwdrivers fit well enough to be useful.

But Ill give the ratchet a shot.

If you plan on replacing the fluid just loosen the bleed screw. The piston will go in unbelievably easily. This trick made my night (and my back) a lot better.

Otherwise 3/8" square drive from your socket, its practically made for it.
