Is a polydrive or a Ribe drive used for the rear brake calipers? The PMB video says to use an R5 Ribe, but states you can use a T27 Torx, but it is better to use the Ribe. When looking for a Ribe bit, I cam across the Polydrive. There seems to be some confusion as to what, specifically, is needed. Anyone have a definite answer for the 914 rear brake calipers?

I second Brant, the originals are Ribe. Where the Ribe head bolt is used with a nut, then always turn the nut while holding the bolt from turning with the tool. This will save you from breaking as many Ribe bits as possible.
