      cuz you twist, more like screw, in the rear caliper piston and not push in like the front caliper piston.

                  I've always settled on a pair of long nose pilers, Wrong I know but it gets the job done. I guess I should buy one of these borgs before my next brake job

                      Heck, I just spent $19 for an entire caliper kit from Harbor Freight. It's MUCH MUCH better than the borg tool as it backs up against the front of the caliper and pushes AND twists the piston. It's really an amazing tool for the money and I probably would have spent twice as much for the convenience and quality of the kit.

                      Here is a link: http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/d ... mber=40732

                      It's twists the perfect amount and pushes the perfect amount. It has several different inserts for different kinds of caliper piston designs. It even has a regular blank one for the front pad!! Sweet kit and really glad I bought it.

                              Out autozone has a terrible time keeping rentals in stock, so I chose to just skip the hassle and have one handy. I got it for less than $20 so it was more than worth it to me to not have to drive to Autozone when I need to use it (which is now three times haha).
