Hey guys, does anyone one know what the special tool is called that you use to wind the piston back in to the calliper?

and there is a different one to Willys depicted tool.
Picture a socket say a 32mm one, half inch drive, and has had the 32mm open end cut down to leave two castellation like bits that lock in and allow you to rotate the piston so you can wind it back. Turn in a clockwise direction.

I use a pair of pliers to do mine.
Have since got the same as Willy above, but am yet to actually use it...

I've been using a set of bullnose pliers since 1992 and never worried about buying a "special" tool as the plier method works perfectlyEl_Freddo wrote:I use a pair of pliers to do mine.
