Which rear disc brake tool from Harbor Freight?
Hello!
I'm looking for the rear disc brake tool that compresses the caliper and turns it at the same time. I tried the cube style socket with very poor results.
Has anyone tried the tools that harbor freight sells?

<a HREF="http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=46790">
UNIVERSAL DISC BRAKE TOOL KIT</a>
Has anyone else tried a different brand? JC Whitney has the Lisle tool, but it's $10 more and doesn't come with a nice case. =P I looked at sears, but nobody there knew what I was talking about and pointed at the cube tool or the c clamp type tool.
Thanks,
Gary

You want the 1st one listed ITEM 40732-0VGA, the other one doesn't turn the pistons and it may not
fit the piston.
The ITEM 40732-0VGA works just great on rear Audi brakes! Much, better than the universal cube which one needs to push very hard, on certain cars that have a lot of miles it's almost impossible to push and turn to do the job. The ITEM 40732-0VGA is a 5 minutes job!
