I would have thought these things were a dime a dozen. Googled it and nothing other than one used one on ebay came up. Any automotive tool websites anyone can think of?

You can get one at any Autozone. It's the rent to own program.

Default C-clamp for the front - Try ECS Tuning for the rear $34.95

Look about 1/2 way down the page

<a href="http://www.ecstuning.com/stage/edpd/pagebuild_v2.cgi?make=Audi&engine=V8&model=B6%20S4 &submodel=&category=Braking"> Brake piston retraction tool </a>

Of course ECS Tuning may decide to send you something else.

Default You can get one on "free loan" from AutoZone, something like

$35 deposit when you take it out, and then they'll refund the full deposit when you return the tool. The one I got from them was brand new (still in the shrink wrap). BTW, it is the exact same kit that Harbor Freight sells.

Default Yea, I just busted mine. But it lasted about 30 uses.

What do you expect for $30.

Freight Harbor in Palatine has a boatload of them. Cheap, too... like $30 I think.
