          Is not compatable with my Mustang. Took it back to the store and they said I had to shave down the prongs to get it to work on a ford. The prongs dont look strong enough to shave them down as much as needed.

          Was able to reset the rear pistons on a 1998 Maxima with no difficulty. It may not be professional quality but it seems perfectly suitable for occasional use by the shade tree mechanic.

              This tool made changing the rear brakes on my 98 Accord simple, quick, and easy. You will need a 3/8 drive socket extension if you don't already have one in your tool kit. Easy to use, small, and a good tool if you do work on your own vehicles. Well worth it for the home mechanics tool kit!

              Comments about Autocraft Disc Brake Piston Remover:

              Most of these "Universal" tools are made of pot metal. I did try to use it. But, this tool will not work on the 1999 Ford Taurus rear disc calipers. None of the tabs would line up. So, I returned it and made my own out of an old wrench. The design is terrible. Trying to turn a wire like square while holding a disc caliper is an unacceptable and dangerous solution.

              Buy a real tool

                  Comments about Autocraft Disc Brake Piston Remover:

                  This tool is made from pot metal and the "nubs" intended to engage the piston will wear away quickly.

                  This is supposed to be a "Universal Tool" - but it did not fit ANY of the calipers on my Mustang (Cobra calipers) or my Taurus.

                  Spend the money and get a real tool. The price on this poor substitute is scandalous.

                    I am trying to find a tool to be able to remove my front rotors. I have purchased the rotors but when I took off the wheel I found a 1 1/4in nut that had to come off to be able to take the rotors off. Do you carry this tool?
