Brake tools

What tools do you guys use to reset the rear caliper piston? I know needle nose pliers can work but I've tried that and they take tool long and were very difficult. Is there a specific tool that can fit it? I saw in the FSM that nissan has a special tool but where can we get one? Is there something at autozone that i can look for? I dont want to have to go to the dealer for something like that because i know it'll be some crazy price. I've got some brake work coming up and it'd be really helpfull to have the propper tools. Thanks.

Yes - you can buy it at autozone. Not sure what it is called, but I'm sure if you visit them you'll find it..

That doesnt look like the tool Ive ever seen but it may work. I know harbor Frieght carrys the tool you need and so does AutoZone.

Proph - this tool I linked too is nifty - it comes with the nubs of various sizes - so it fits a variety of pistons.
