Re: b5 brake job
yep, tried it without the tool, not a chance of the piston going back in
so ill grab the tool this weekend and do it again
couldnt find an 8 mil hex key either, but i have a lil more time now so i will
who the he!! decided to make it an 8 mil hex key you need anyways, gosh darn germans (i guess im hjust used to working on hondas where a 10 mil wrench and socket can pretty much take the whole car apart)
so thanks for the help
now that ive had it apart tho, im gonna grab some additional supplies and clean that whole area up and paint the calipers.

Re: b5 brake job
so the caliper tool kit from Princess Auto worked awesomly. not a problem at all.
and everything (except for one of the caliper bracket bolts in the back, that stripped, pput i found a way to get out) went easy as pie. its even went back together easily.
only thing was, we got 15 cm's of snow saturday night, so the brakes were wet and i couldnt paint them
