yes,

I just used a pair of pliers and twisted them in. Kind of a pain in the butt...
i've broken at least 3 pliers using this recommendation of using pliers.

Something like this is immensely better than the "cube" or whatever other hack.

Bunch of places sell them, autozone rents them. But if you're going to do brakes more than once in you life - buy it, so worth it.
