Need help with rear brake piston

Parking brake I assume?

I used a pair of 90° bent tip needle nose pliers…I tried one of the Harbor Freight tools, and none of the little nubs matched the hole size and spacing. Not sure who makes the “proper” tool, but the pliers did work.

Parking brake caliper, I assume? I know the Gen III regular brakes do need to be rotated.
What I use for mine is a set of snap-ring pliers.

you can get the loaner tool at most any of the chain auto parts guys. works like a charm.

George….for your G2 Non ABS. I mailed you this weekend, phone out-of-date

We do have the Mopar double-nipple T-tool s here, but the needle-nose trick usually works

Can anyone give me suggestions on how to rotate the piston (rear breaks) to make room for the pads? I don’t have the “special piston rotation tool” and the notches in the piston are too thin/shallow to allow for needle nose pliers to grab and turn. Frustrating…..:mad:

Thank you for any input.
