My "Pocket Mechanic" Vanagon manual (I know, I know, not the best book, but
it was cheap) says that there are resetting pliars made for pushing the
pistons back into the brake calipers (while the calipers are still on the
rotor) in order to install new pads.  When I called auto parts stores they
tried to hook me up with a C-clamp.  And they've ever heard of being able to
install new pads without removing the calipers from the rotor.

I got the job done without the pliers, but it was not easy.  Is there really
any such thing as these resetting pliars?
