Can someone tell me if a special tool is required to reset the brake caliper on a 2k2? I used to change my own brakes on previous cars, but then some started requiring a special tool to reset the caliper. Is this true for the Max?

The front caliper piston can be pressed in with a c-clamp easily. The rear piston requires a clockwise turn to compress the piston. Some folks use a pair of needle-nose to do this, but you can buy a tool, like you're referring to, that attached to the end up your ratchet that makes it much easier. Sears sells this tool for $12 and it has patterns for about eight different styles of caliper.
