A 'gotta have it' tool

[RoyBatty]

If you have seen this before, then disregard.
This little tool works too well to not have it in your box.

I have never seen anything like that. To move the pistons on the rears I have used a large file on edge.

On another note...the tool that I have used most in restoring my spider has been the bench grinder my son gave me years ago for my birthday, with a wire wheel on one side.

Hi Narf,
Gotta be careful using a file like that. They are brittle and might break and cause you to jab yourself with a sharp hunk of broken file.

They seem to be readily available all over the interwebz for <$10.

I have not attacked brake calipers yet - what can this little item do for me?

[124JOE]

the rear calipers need to turn in to fit new pads
this tool works faster than others

[grittracing]

never seen anything like it. I usually have to borrow a tool from the auto parts store

[azruss]

screwing in the rear piston is a PITA as they do not turn easily and require lots of room if using a file or a long screwdriver. Definity would be a worthwhile tool.

I just use a tire iron.

Autozone has a loan-a-tool program that carries a caliper turn in tool,like the professionals use.Give em $20,take it home and do the brakes,and bring back to autozone for a full refund.You cant beat it for stuff you dont use often.

and with the pully puller i just kept it
now i have case it fits into

if you go buy a puller set it comes in cheap plastic
and the differance is $3

Well I guess I am an amateur when it comes to Fiats. I'm just a professional aerospace mechanic.
But I have put more than 40K miles on my '75 since acquiring it a year an a half ago and it is somehow still running great.
That little tool cost less than 10 bucks at the local NAPA store and it worked EXACTLY as it was supposed to.
Oh, and I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.........so, I'm just sayin'......
