Hey folks, its my first time changing out the rear pads. Does anyone know if I can substitute the "calipertool" with something else?

Below are some helpful links for rear pad replacement;

Some people can manipulate needle nose pliers in there to screw it down.

The Borg tool is only $10 at your corner car parts store.

The rentals are the universal kits. Those work too.
I actually have one of those kits that they rent. Red box...

Harbor freight has the same kit for $60 usually....
I went ahead and invested in one.

David....the eBrake in the back has to be twisted in.
The C Clamp will work up front to open them up but not in back.

I got the tool if ya wanna borrow it.
Did Darren call you? He called me asking for your number.
