I got the pads in now I need to copmpress the rear piston to make room for the new brakes. The Haynes manual says "rotate clockwise with needlenose pliers or piston compression tool" . Theres no way in hell that the piston moves with needle nose pliers. What is the easiest way to do this? Does Autozone stock piston compression tools? HELP!!!!

Here is the tool that I have:
http://www.napaonline.com/cgi-bin/n...t?prrfnbr=15612779&prmenbr=5806&usrcommgrpid=

it works great but costed about $15. I turned the piston about 2 times with the pliers and realized that they just weren't going to cut it.

that tool looks a lot better than that POS square thing I got from Autozone.
