I don't know what years it really applies to, but I can pretty much guarantee that it applies to the early B5's. On the rear calipers when you change the pads in order to get the piston back in you gotta turn the effer clockwise.

I got in there and managed to get the passenger side to go in and got the new pads on. Now, the drivers side using my needle nose plier rig just spins and spins and aint really going in.

The damn tool is $100, I thought maybe one of you have bought it.

If you have it and will let me borrow it for 5 min so I can do the drivers side correctly, I got a $20, case of beer, carton of smokes or something for your time/rental.

Thanks

dude, rent them from autozone...they will need a deposit of 30 bucks or so, but you'll get it back after you return the tool.
