Alternatively, if anyone can recommend a tool that will definitely work, but which won't cost £60, please do so. If I'm to pay that much for a tool, I may as well just get a local garage to do the job

This looks great eBay.co.uk: BMW Mini brake caliper wind back tool (item 120075719007 end time 16-Jan-07 22:22:53 GMT)
nice price! But it's long gone.

Thanks

That tool won't do it as the Mini isn't listed. The big silver bit at the end needs to be replaced
with a smaller black unit that fits the Mini. Use the wanted section someone near you may
have something they can loan you. In my region (Wales and the West) there at least 2 people
who own purpose made tools. I've read of other ways of doing this using long nosed pliers
and g-clamps etc but nothing worked on my car except the proper tool that just took seconds.

Some people are like a Slinky ........ not really good for anything, but you still can't help
but smile when you shove them down the stairs
