Need to borrow the *factory* rear caliper piston retraction tool!
Hey guys, does anyone have one that I can borrow for tomorrow? I'll be happy to come by and get it from you and drop you a six pack for your time. I've tried using the smaller universal tool but I need the factory tool that actually applies sufficient pressure simultaneously to the piston and the back side of the caliper.
Thanks in advance!
Thanks in advance!

I dont have the factory one but have an easy way to do it.
Requireds a big "c" vice clamp and a pair of channel locks. Can do it in like 30 seconds. Where are you at?

Yes but isn't the Audi A4 rear piston more specific with its two indents?
If one of these universal tools will work, I'd be set. Maybe I'll stop by the local Autozone on the way home. Thanks Reggie.

Re: I'm in Longmont, but will be doing the repair in Evergreen tomorrow
I've got the Harbor Freight rear caliper tool which I use on all our Audi's. I'm in N. Evergreen if you wish to borrow it. Send me your email/phone if needed.
