Hey folks,

Anyone know where to buy the rear calliper retraction tool for s197? Looking at vids to swap out my rotors to the 13.8" and realized I need this tool. Not sure if Can Tire has a kit?

Any direction would be appreciated.

Thx

the CTC square block Lisle brand tool with 3/8" drive holes should work - I had to grind two outer nipples off one face but it works - wear gloves and push hard while turning so it doesn't slip off

Partsource may have it as well.

Princeess Auto has a Pro Point kit

CTC has a loan a tool program that may include it.

You're welcome to borrow mine. I could bring it to WNNOTC next week.

Thanks for the recos and loan offers! Mavrrick and I are connecting so I can borrow his set. Would buy one, but am not sure how often I will do rear brakes.
