Has anyone done a brake job on their Fit, themselves?

I bought this years ago... Opentip.com: KD Tools KDT3376 Disc Brake Pad Spreader and have saved TONS of time and frustration on the many, many brake pad changes I have done since.

That could be said of most specialty tools. However, you only have to buy them once and then use them the rest of your life. They are only worth they money if you plan on being a DIY'er. Most of my tools are over 15 years old and have had lots of use.

I agree. I've used both methods for 40 years. The tool is much more than marginally better.... you can build a house with wood, nails and a rock, but I prefer the hammer.

Yup, some cars that have rear discs and use the calipers for the parking brake have screw in pistons. They require a special tool that slots into the holes to turn them in.
And, yes, I have that tool also
