NOTE when i do all of the above. i loosen the bleeder screw so when i compress the piston in the fluid goes out the bleeder, the piston compresses easily compared to not opening the bleeder and i don't force dirty fluid back into the master cylinder

from what i have READ, i hasn't used this tool. the HF tool works pretty good when pressing in rear disc brake pistons with E brake that's part of the rear caliper..

I checked out the Harbor Freight kit - not nearly as good of a kit or a deal as this:
