I've read before that a tool to push out and clean one piston at a time on Hope E4, four pot brakes can be made out of Lego.
I'm pretty sure the person who did this specified which Lego pieces would make things the correct widths. The main problem here is that it is not my brake that is the issue, but a mate who is getting his knickers in a twist. Ideally he needs to sort this brake before Wednesday night. He is struggling to lay his hands on the proper tool. Narf.
Does anyone on here recall seeing anything anywhere on this?
Or, despite having never touched the stuff, am I having some kind of LSD trip?
Hope have a 3D file you can download to print one if you know anyone with a printer.

This looks like the Lego thing
Can’t these be easily 3D printed? No services or a mate local to you to do this?

Currently rummaging through the boy's 5 Lego heads of lego!!!!
Where in the country are I have one you can borrow if anywhere near the south midlands.
Get a yellow spacer block that’s long enough, any make will do. And trim it to fit. Then hack saw a quarter out of it
I use Shimano spacers cut down
I use a little block of wood(oak as it happens) shaped to exactly fit the brake pad slot, with one part reduced for the piston to come out against, but not so far as it could accidentally come out too far and , well hydraulic fluid time ...
Another small hole so a pad pin can fit in and hold it all in place.
