All this helpful information on this site I thought I would donate my 2 cents. This tool is used to turn the piston as you push it back into the caliper. I find it is easiest to attach the caliper and bracket to the axle but leave the rotor off. Then attach a ratchet and long extension to the "brake socket", I like to put a little wooden block between caliper and shock. Then just line up the teeth of the socket with the grooves on the piston push and turn. http://natomessageboard.com/uploads/00005942/soc8.jpg http://natomessageboard.com/uploads/00005942/soc5.jpg http://natomessageboard.com/uploads/00005942/soc4.jpg
This was just a cheap socket I used a handheld portaband (a hacksaw would work too it would just take longer) to cut the socket from the sides to create the teeth, just be sure to leave the teeth large enough to be usable. This is my first write up like this I hope I made everything clear, if not just ask I'll be glad to clear up anything that wasn't clear.
