    Post North West Tools Repository

    Just a quick idea, dont know if this will work but I have just aquired a Rear Caliper winder, bloody great tool and made rear brake pad change a doddle. I have a number of bits that could be used by others (as long as returned in there original condition promptly):

    Rear Brake Caliper winder
    100mm Hole Saw

    ANyone else got anything they want to add which may be handy and slightly unusual
