Never heard of anyone having as many problems getting the brakes to work properly as you. Very odd. Don't slam into any concrete barriers. The barriers will win every time.
Yes I have seen the tool, but ordering would take long and we figured we’d manage with a regular puller… lesson learned so to speak.
Regarding the brakes..at some point in the future, I’m going to exclude the brake balancer and see if that changes anything, but for now..let it be.

Perseverance /pəːsɪˈvɪər(ə)ns/ [persistence in doing something despite difficulty or delay in achieving success] hmmm seems I need patience as well , but I’m close to running out of it.
