Driver’s side 1 hour and 30 minutes, 2 gallons of 87 from the Suburban, and $65 dollars for a brake tool.
Passenger side: Under 4 minutes
Moral of the Story: Just rent the brake tool and not try to MacGyver a tool, it takes way less time.
Pic unrelated, doggo for your time wasted.

Or just use some sturdy needle nose pliers. I have been able to successfully twist the rear caliper pistons back into the calipers that way on every twist type I’ve encountered so far.

It winds the piston back into the caliper.

Gotta be a brake pad spreader, if it’s a specific tool.

That probably would work fine, but this made it much easier.

With the fronts, that is possible. It’s so nice to have two separate caliper types.

I may have exagerated a bit. It was $65, but for the rental deposit. What tool did you buy?

I bought mine at Advance Auto Parts, and they don’t seem to carry that model any more... here’s the closest thing I could find on Amazon:
I have one of these too, which works fine, mostly...

As a former Alfa owner, I was used to it already.
