I didn't make the post you are referring to, but I read it.  The tool is 
called a 'pin spanner' for bicycles.  Buy one made by Park Tool Company, a 
bicycle tool company from St. Paul, MN.  The spanners are about $5-$8 and 
should be widely available at all bike shops.  If they don't stock it, 
you could order it through a shop or online easily.  (You cannot order it 
direct from Park.)

One problem: I'm not sure what color (size) of the spanner fits.  You 
want red, green, or yellow (NOT blue).  They are slightly bendable, so 
it may not matter that much.  Check out a sample at
   http://www.parktool.com/tools/SPA_1.htm


Alternatively, I own an adjustable spanner (Park SPA-6) but I don't know 
if it fits.  When I tried to work on my own brakes yesterday, the 
U-shaped pin was so rusted I had to abort the job for now.  If you figure 
out what color fits best, please post.
