2002 ls rear brakes

[aa1872]

Does anyone know where I can get the tool to screw down the piston on the rear brake caliper on an LS 2002? Does anyone know what the tool is called?
Thanks

Just about any auto parts store will have this. Do yourself a favor though and borrow the kit from behind the counter. The little socket adapter ones are just a knuckle buster. The Rear Caliper Compressor kit will work much better. Autozone refers to it as "11-piece Disc Brake Tool Set."

I tried the multi-sided tool from the auto parts store and it did not work on my 2002 LS. I ended up ordering from the internet a KD #3355 Disk Brake Piston Tool and it works perfectly. It cost about $12 only about $2 more than the cheap multi-sided tool. I did not know about the Autozone 11 piece tool set.

For awhile I didn't know you could borrow tool either from autoparts stores but I had to borrow a pulley remover I had to put a secuity deposit down ($80.00 I think)but after I returned it I got it all back. Good to know in the future though.
