Drag link socket. I bought a set of them from harbor freight- about twenty bucks. you can get a universal tool for turning in the piston ( looks like a cube with various pins ) they work well – about 10 bucks )

I have tried the cube and the forcing screw with disks. The cube is quicker but the forcing screw is a lot more efficient.

i may buy a cheapo socket and weld on a flat piece for the slot.

I have a Blue-Point caliper tool with about 6 different attachments, Its similar to the one in eric’s

IMO i’ve never had the “cube” work for me.

If the cube doesn’t fit your application, you can sometimes grind on whichever set of pins is “close” so it will fit. The cubes are so cheap, it doesn’t hurt to have a couple of modified ones laying around.
