At some stage in the near future I have to replace the rear brake pads.
Knowing the pistons have to be wound back, seen a windback tool known as a cube with a 3/8" sq drive which has 5 combinations of pegs on different faces.
Anyone know if this is anygood for winding the pistons back. Emailed Draper Tools and they don't know either if its suitable for a 307, same goes for Sealey.
thanks

Sealey supply lots of wind back kits,but as they are for workshops you will find them expensive.( Sealey VSO28 £84.00) Same goes for other makes,I have had the same tool for years and used it on 307`s many times,it is a Klann KL-113.I think it would be cheaper for you to pay a small independent workshop to fit the pads for you than fork out for a tool that you will only use once.
thanks,
but this cube by sealey VS039, which is the same from Draper is priced at £8

Thanks,Oldpug wrote:I`ve never seen one like that?but from the pic`I think I can see how it works.For £8 its worth a try.Its difficult for a professional who buys expensive equipment to work on all types of models and who expects the tools to last for years to advise on a handy tool for a DIY job.
but they like Snap-on and Mac I think are over rated & over priced for what you get. I too been a proffessional leaving the trade some years ago.

i have seen those cube type wind back tools but never used one,
bear in mund a rear calliper is smaller that a front one, so there for there will be less gap/space between the calliper jaw/s and the piston face
so this tool may be to chuncky to fit,
there are quite a few threaded typee wind back tools on ebay at reasonable price's too,
