    Default Is there a Rear Brake Rewind Tool Set that includes Spyder's Brembo caliper?

    This maybe should be in shop talk, but applies to both F3's and late model RT's.

    I realize Baja Ron has a rewind fitting that fits the face of the Brembo rear piston, but I'd like to find a rewind tool set like
    https://tinyurl.com/y747m5cy that covers multiple vehicles.

    We have a Mini Cooper that uses the same type of screw-in retraction piston. I've done the brakes on it and borrowed the following tool set from a friend (https://tinyurl.com/yc4hubs7) that worked on the Mini's rear calipers. It does not, however, have the proper fitting for the Spyder's Brembo piston. The first set I listed is typical of those found on Amazon with a larger selection of fittings than the second, the one that I borrowed. Has anyone purchased a set like the first and successfully used it for the Spyder's rear caliper?

    I had an adjustable one ..... However, even with using two Star washers and a lock nut, I couldn't get it to stay at the setting I wanted ..... so I just welded it ......Mike

    In case you consider the one that Harbor freight has it does not include one that fits. I bought that one and had to grind the pins smaller to fit in the holes.

    A pair of needle nose pliers works well. Just push in as you turn.

    If I can't find one that fits, I'll look at the kit faces I have to see if that might work. Thanks

    Have done that twice on my Spyders, but based on the easy experience of using the correct tool on the Mini, I'll go for the tool, if it has the right fitting (or one I can grind to fit. )

    I might have to take back what I said about the HF brake service kit. The smaller Maddox kit that I bought does not have the proper size but maybe this new, bigger one they now carry does?
