    Rear Disc Brake Tool

    Hey guys,

    Does anyone know of a good/cheap Rear Piston Windback tool to fit the MKIV GTI?

    Or does anyone know if those 6 side cube things will? Similar to this Stanley Rear Disc Brake Piston Tool - Supercheap Auto Australia

    That stanley tool wont work as the pins on it are too close together. Just use a pair of decent needle nose pliers and some elbow grease.

    Yes the cube thing works, you have to use the side with 4 pins, but cut 2 pins off, 2 secs on a grinder.
    You also need something to apply pressure.
    If you need it today get the cube, otherwise get a proper kit. The cube thing with a clamp can be a PITA.

    Rear calipers on Golfs are special, they require a tool that compresses the piston back into the bore whilst also being rotated.
