I've taken the brake pads off the back of my car but turns out I need some kind of tool that pushes in and turns the piston to get the new ones on. Anyone help me out with one I can borrow to get the job finished please?

Anyone in the Edinburgh or Borders area that has one I can come pick up and return it as soon as I'm done no problems.

Thanks

use a set of long nose pliers put them in the small holes and turn !!!!!

I've got a windback tool, but a set of longnose pliers will do the trick as stone says.

Handy tip...take the cap off the brake fluid reservoir before you push the piston in and it's easy pie:D Be careful that the gaiter doesn't bunch as it could tear. This guide I found on NAM might be helpful. http://www.northamericanmotoring.com/forums/showthread.php?p=550345

Managed to get it done with a combination of a tool to push and pipe grips to turn.

Thanks for the suggestions.
