Compared with the majority of conventional ratchet-style caliper tools, the brake caliper piston tool from TUTOOLS cuts down working time and delivers far simpler operation. As a heavy-duty professional device dedicated to brake caliper piston pressing, it works perfectly for most mainstream passenger cars and road trucks.Belonging to the professional brake service kit and brake cylinder adjustment tools, this equipment requires a minimum 1.5-inch gap between the caliper boundary and the piston for smooth installation. During actual operation, a sturdy and reliable C-clamp can be adopted as a supporting auxiliary tool to assist your work.
Align the pistons centrally on both sides of the pressure spreading plates. Thanks to its built-in ratchet mechanism, external pressure must be applied to the two plates to engage the ratchet function.Apply balanced force to both spreading plates simultaneously. Squeeze the unit gently during the initial several swings until it reaches the proper position for installation onto the brake caliper. After that, toggle the control switch and continue swinging the tool for further operation.Always distribute pressure uniformly across the caliper pistons. This essential step helps prevent brake caliper breakage and piston misalignment during use.
This tool's ratcheting movement, whether retracting or extending, cannot function unless inward compression is applied to the spreading components.Should the tool's overall size be adjusted smaller than the gap between the piston and the caliper rim, you have to press the spreader firmly until it makes solid contact with the caliper metal surface.
This ratchet brake piston tool comes supplied with two extra steel backing plates, sized at 4-5/8 inches in length and 2-3/8 inches in height. These accessory plates deliver a precise fit and work seamlessly with single, dual and four-piston brake caliper setups.
This package comes with two sturdy caliper hooks, designed to suspend brake calipers, hoses and various related auto parts.
