Disk Brake Pad Spreader - Available on 1A Auto

Created on: 2018-05-29

Check out this brake pad spreader review from 1A Auto. Learn how to bleed your brakes

Hi. I'm Mike from 1AAuto. We've been selling auto parts for over 30 years!

This is a brake caliper compressing tool. You can get this from 1AAuto.com. This works great for single piston calipers. You can install it into your brake caliper. Then you put the old brake pad here. As you tighten it, this pushes against the outside of the brake caliper and then the piston. The screw part pushes against the piston and the old pad and pushes the brake caliper piston back into the caliper, so when you go to install the new brake pads they'll fit over your rotors.

This is a nice little tool to have. It makes doing brake jobs a lot easier, much easier than struggling with a C-clamp to get it in there and compress your brake calipers. This is a handy little tool and it's available from 1AAuto.com
