TOOLS AND THE SHOP > MECHANIC HAND TOOLS WE USE
Anybody use this type of brake tool?
stokester:
Yes, I used it on most every pad change when I worked at the Chevy shop. I found it easy to use and worked on every type of caliper but don't remember paying that much for it.
jabberwoki:
Made in USA for the win.
gtermini:
I found a small/medium H-Bar puller used as a pusher against one of the old pads on the piston side works just fine, and was already in my toolbox. But I don't do brakes very often.
TexasT:
I just use the old pad and a c clamp to force the piston in. I already have the clamp out as I use it to get the caliper off.
goodfellow:
I have a similar tool, but never use it. I just got used to taking the old pad and using large water pump pliers to compress the piston(s). I guess we stick with what we were taught as youngsters.
My dad and grandpa always used the water pump pliers. Although in their day, disc brakes were a novelty.
