    My piston winder from supercheap broke, it was if poor quality and they dont make them to last, I ended up using a G clamp worked like a charm. I did both front and rear brakes and rotors, but undid the bleeder nipple to push the piston back, hence why I bled the brakes.

    [QUOTE=Umai Naa!!;1259386]I'd buy a full kit, but the likelihood of using everything in it, is pretty slim. Plus it's more to drag around everywhere.[QUOTE]

    I agree. Each kit I buy uses valuable shelf space in my storage cupboards. However I probably need different tools for each of my cars.
    Understand how it works, troubleshoot logically BEFORE replacing parts.

    In my case it was only on the LHS Caliper. Thanks for your comment anyway.
