I posted a help thing a few days ago and Dave Griswold mentioned it was possible to "rent" the tool from Autozone for $35.

Do you know if it's all Autozone's? I need it asap, so I dun wanna order off the internet...

Does anyone know where I can get it in Michigan? (Ann Arbor area)

have you called your local autozone and asked if they have one?

i went to 2 today... and both didn't have the tool.

the second one made me not wanna get it from autozone... that *****!

me: "hi, i'm looking for the brake caliper piston tool for an audi/vw. i'm trying to replace my rear brake pads. i heard autozone carries them."
employee: "you were told wrong!"
me: "excuse me?"
employee: "we don't carry it... unless you drive a ford."

be sure to bring the tool back to that second autozone and bludgeon that redneck upside the head with it.

people here have rented the tool from autozone without issues. I have a kit that has adaptors so it will fit a variety of cars. My guess is autozone rents the same kit with all the adaptors. So ask to see the "Ford Caliper Tool". If you see a bunch of piston adaptors, more than likely one of them will work.

Rather than running from shop to shop, just call them and save yourself some trouble. Autozone has a store locator on their website, displays addresses, maps, and phone numbers.

next time just buy it from Harbor Freight Tools... I've seen it advertised for as little as $20

they work just fine you just have to put a little muscle into pushing it while you turn.
