The disclosure is of an assembly and method for inserting and withdrawing the piston component of a disc brake assembly. The assembly comprises a base plate adapted to be secured to the brake assembly housing whereby a movable shaft, mounted on the base plate, is positioned above the piston and in axial alignment therewith. An endpiece on the shaft mates with the piston for holding it during insertion or withdrawal. Mechanical means is provided to move the shaft and consequently the held piston in or out of its cylinder. The assembly and method of the invention are advantageous in that they provide a means of insertion and withdrawal of the piston component with little potential for damage to the piston or cylinder components of the brake assembly.
