Awesome
I added this on to try it out, I have done my brakes for years and have used a c-clamp and piece of wood. I dont know why I hadnt bought one of these before. I was so easy to compress the caliper! Love it! If you are thinking about it, just do it!

Pretty upfront easy to use
Just that, kind of have to figure best place to place the spreader so that you can affectively do a complete compression but easier then the clamp trick.

Works great!
You can use a C clamp, but this definitely puts equal pressure on the caliper piston. Less chance of doing any damage to the caliper. Pay the 15 bucks and never wear it out. It will outlast you.

a must!
Everyone who has ever done brake work needs this little gem! At a glance you may think you dont. That your C-Clamp method works just fine. Youre wrong. This little tool makes all the difference in the world. It makes compressing the caliper so simple and easy.

Making work easy
I purchased the caliper hangers and piston compressor tool. These two simple parts at a low price makes the repair much more manageable Thank you

Generic tool
This tool has potential if only the compressor plate was smaller. Did not fit the double piston caliper of the Lexus ls430 application.

So simple...
I have been doing brakes on my own cars for years, finally decided to spend a few bucks, so glad I did, much easier than using a C clamp.

Does this eliminate need to bleed brake system?
Sean SJune 19, 2018
Yes, by simply compressing the caliper you avoid opening the brake system to air and eliminating the need to bleed the brakes. Thank you!
Adam GJune 19, 2018
Yes definitely. Only way to go.

A HAugust 7, 2019
Yes, just loosen your cap and make sure you don’t over flow your brake fluid
D AAugust 13, 2019
No, this is a tool used to push the piston back into the caliper when installing new brake pads. If you have air in the lines you still need to bleed the air out. If you are installing new pads to the brakes you need to push the piston back to a full open position and this tool will help you do that.

Dis kit bave to bleues my lines
E MNovember 27, 2019
No it does not
I ODecember 26, 2019
No
Jawed SJanuary 29, 2020
As long as you don’t open the bleeder screws or have brake fluid leak there’s no reason to bleed the brakes. The tool is just for pressing the piston back into the caliper

Will this tool work on a 2005 Toyota Tundra?
Steve BDecember 27, 2019
Hello,
This tool will work on any brake caliper as long as they do not require a specilized tool the compress the piston. Thanks!
