Does anyone know the cheapest wind back tool for both sides of the Stilo's rear brakes? There are a lot on Ebay and they vary in price. There is a Draper "black cube" tool for about £7.00 but I don't know if it's suitable.

I used my angle grinders disc changing tool. The 2 pins on it fitted nicely into the grooves on the brake piston and I could turn it.

Same here, worked perfectly.

There was another thread where someons tried the Draper cube but as I remember, none of the pins fitted.

Next cheapest option is the Fiat tool, about £34.
 
Here's what £34 buys you...

2 bolts with metal plates on them and a circle thingy! The "proper" fiat tool lol. I was expecting something nice and shiney for my £34 but oh well. :(

I'd have thought whether it does the job OK would count for more than what it looks like.

I bought mine when they first became available and paid less than half of what you've paid.

Thats the thing, for the price i paid, i expected it to look more like a "tool". I'm sure it will do the job but i just wish it didn't cost so much!
