• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

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? :dontknow: :pray:

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 :thumbup:

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.

If I can't find one that fits, I'll look at the kit faces I have to see if that might work. Thanks
 
A pair of needle nose pliers works well. Just push in as you turn.

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. :2thumbs: )
