Will this tool fit?

Hello..

I found this tool: http://www.canadiantire.ca/AST/browse/4/Auto/AutoTools/AutoBrakeTools/PRD~0251113P/Powerbuilt%2B1-1%252B2-in.%2BRear%2BBrake%2BDisc%2BCaliper%2BTool.jsp

It has 1-1/2", 1-5/8" and some more bigger ones. I think 1-5/8" is too big for mini' rear caliper piston. I'm not sure if 1-1/2" would fit.

Could anyone confirm the size, please? Will 1-1/2" fit to the mini's rear caliper piston?

I am not sure if the Mini takes a 1.5 inch adapter and I am also not a fan of cheap tools. But this kit is under $20.00...

http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=40732

and less if you find a 20% off coupon somewhere. It makes the job easy and has all the adapters for the Mini or anything else.

Thanks for the reply.

A couple of things I would like to add in addition to my first question are
1. I'm going to do this "today"
2. I can order the harbour freight tool and pay the double the cost of the tool itself for the shipping which I don't like
3. There's no local store here who carries the HF tool
4. The tool I asked is the one I can pick up at the local store and it's not a cheap tool, I guess

if anyone who has the tool, could tou just measure the size of it, please?

Thanks!!
