Screw-in Caliper Pistons... Anyone help?

[Philly-Night-SR]

Hey everyone,

I am installing a new set of rear brake pads on my Infiniti and the rear calipers are screw in type. I don't have the tool to properly screw the piston back in.....anyone have any tips on how to do it? Some people tell me that you can just use a screwdriver/long nose pliers.... anyone have experience?

Personally i have the tool but ive been told u can use a big screwdriver. I would try like a wood chisel.

You can use needle nose pliers. Just pick up a set of them and make sure they're big enough to reach across the piston.
