not the answer im looking for as i have done that already it only pops up with a standard single piston not a four piston set up but if you found it then idk why it was so hard to copy and paste a link or why u would even waste time with your post

omg you use a c clamp and put your brake pad on the piston if you search it you would of know that
yeah, use a clamp, but that probably wont work unless you loosen the bleeder valve X/

You don't have the pop the bleeder, just make sure you pop the brake reservoir cap off.

i use this to compress the caliper. you have to leave the brake pad in the caliper and with that tool it would compress all 4 piston at the same time.
