99 VW Jetta Rotor- Replace

[Buckru]

I went to change out the brake pads and rotors on my wifes Jetta and quickly discovered that a special tool is needed to pull the calipers. Looks like some star wrench is needed. Can anyone tell me where to purchase one? If you happen to have any tips specifically for this job, I am all ears.

Thanks in advance,

Buck Buchanan

I ran into the same thing on a Pontiac once. It tool a star socket. I found a cheap set of these star sockets new at a pawn shop. Since I don't use them much - a cheap set was fine with me.
