I got one from eBay similar to this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Right-Handed-BRAKE-BREAK-CALIPER-PISTON-REWIND-TOOL-VW-AUDI-GOLF-SEAT-FORD-MAZDA-/310507187975?pt=UK_Hand_Tools_Equipment&hash=item484babaf07

It done the job.

Are you changing the discs? You will need a m14 splined bit to remove the carrier

^ Identical to mine. Just used it about 1/2 hour ago. Works well!

Make sure you get a short one. I bought one that was too long and it didn't fit in amongst the plethora of suspension parts. It was mounted in a kind of socket (I think most are) so I bashed it out, cut the end off with a grinder then put it back in. Voila, but a faf - easier than getting the bolts out though!

The short ones are only available as a set, to buy a M14 spline on its own will probably involve a cut and shut as described ^^^^^

Great adapting tools though! Mines just got the splines sticking out and clears the bolt by about 2mm.
