You could just compress it... and what happens the first time you apply the brakes?

Which will proceed to break off the protrusions on at least four different tools until you buy this:

I haven't broken that little cube tool yet, and I've had it for close to two decades. But before that, I just used needle nose pliers, but that's kinda hard on the pliers if they aren't the highest quality. ![Smilie](https://www.rx7club.com/images/smilies/smile.gif)

Just go to one of the auto parts stores that loans tools and get the professional kit. With OReilly it's free if you have it back in two days. Needle nose will work but wear a glove as you're likely to put it into the hand holding the caliper. The cube sucks no matter who you get it from it's cheep and that's how it works, cheep.
