What tool to compress dual piston calipers?
I'm going to be changing the brakes on my old 2002 ES300. I'm used to single piston caliper brakes jobs and normally just use a 4" c-clamp with an and old brake pad. Will this work for a dual piston caliper. I really don't want to buy any special tools if I don't need to. Thanks again for all the help...

Like tomf said, a regular clamp will work. I tend to use my hands though because I have unreal superhuman strength and like to show off to the ladies by compressing dual piston calipers in the Walmart parking lot during my spare time. You could try taking it to your nearest Walmart Supercenter and try my method, I have had great results so far. If that does not work for you though, I would recommend using a regular clamp made for a single piston caliper. Best of luck!
