    Damn, that is cheap.

    I recently bought one from eBay too:

    [ebay]160542762384[/ebay]

    [ebay]160570360584[/ebay]

    I was actually looking for the kit that Gavin posted up but for some reason couldn't find it, so ended up getting the kit above instead. It's easy to use though.

    Good luck trying that on the rear calipers mate. You look like Dumbledore before you get that piston in.

    Fair enough. I've never tried it, but just "heard" it.

    The fronts you can squeeze in but the mechanism for adjusting up the handbrake prevents you from pushing the piston back. You need to turn the piston clockwise, it's possible with some pointed pliers but for $20 that tool is a bargain.
