Do any autoparts stores in FL carry brake caliper tools for Audi's?

A4_Jax · 06-09-2006, 12:14 PM

I've seen that cube thing at Sears, but not sure if it works for Audi rear brake calipers. If it does, is it a PITA to get it to work, over the the special Audi screw-type clamping tool? Sears also sells a screw-type tool, but it doesn't seem specialized to fit in the notches on the caliper. Any suggestions? It seems like changing the rear pad is easy, and I'd hate to pay a shop to do it.

Because you have to turn while applying a good deal of pressure...which you can't do with the silly cube. BTDT.

Harbor Frieght has them, if you don't have one in Jax, just order online. I think it was $25.
