Chucklemonkey264 Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 When I first got my 2009 journey i tried to do a break change but could not release the pressure in the calipers. Is there a special tool for this? If so, how do i get one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have heard people using needle nose pliers to turn them in, but there is a special tool that does it. You may be able to borrow or rent one from a parts store. The fronts just compress, nothing special. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derekmclain9 Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 (edited) yeah there is a special tool called a disc brake piston tool that only costs a few bucks and it is just a cube with different sides for different calipers and it just goes on a 3/8 wrench if i remember.
