Little Help, Rear brakes

[1975_mini]

I have changed brandy's front brakes, and was attempting to do the rear. I have a cheap piston compressor so it does not have the pegs to twist while compressing.

 

Therefore i can not compress the pistons on the rear, had no issues with the front. Does anyone know any tricks to get the clockwise rotation while compressing. Or have a better compressor to borrow. Or another trick that may be causing my issues.:banghead:

 

Thanks for any help you can offer.

I have a universal tool and the MINI specific tool for this if you need. I wouldn't try anything else as you are likely to end up tearing the rubber boot around the caliper piston.

Usually most auto parts places have the tool you need for a free rent. (borrow)

Thanks, Craig. Rear brakes complete, and I was able to dodge Brandy's dog house.
