locknut wrench?

I went over to my local autoparts store today and they had no idea what
I was talking about when I asked for a locknut wrench for screwing a
Honda brake caliper piston back in. Didn't see anything on the shelf,
either.

Is the item linked below what I'm looking for?

Also, is there an equivalent to the Brake Spring Compressor tool, part
#07HAE-SG00100, that might run less than $50 somewhere other than
slhonda.com? I'm debating whether to disassemble the caliper to see if I
can determine what's failing in the caliper piston adjustment system, or
just replace the whole thing (assuming screwing the piston back in, as
Randolph suggested, doesn't fix it). But by the time I buy the $50
spring compressor tool, a pair of snapring pliers, the various
replacement parts, and spend the time disassembling/reassembling the
sucker (and it's now getting cold here and I have no indoor garage!)...
well...

That's exactly what I use.

 

Thanks for the confirmation, Seth. Anyone have an idea as to what I can
use in lieu of the Brake Spring Compressor tool, Honda part #07HAE-SG00100?

 

I just use a "big ass off set pliers".

 

Hmmm. I'm trying to visualize this, but I'm not sure I've ever seen an
"offset pliers" before. I'll poke around and see what I turn up.

(not the set I use, or size, but just the first example I found when doing a
google search)

 

Thanks, Seth. I already have a pair, but at some point in my youth I
thought I had learned that they were called "gooseneck" pliers. A
picture is indeed worh a thousand words.

 

The Channel Locks pictured can be obtained for about $20 at Home
Depot..

Oh yeah, that's anotehr term I've heard for those. As for buying from
UltimateGarage... well... that's for those with lotsa $$. Are they even
$20 at Home Depot?

 

I think I paid about $20 for a name brand (Actual Channel Locks) 15"
pair at Home Depot...
