This is a universal kit designed to fit most vehicles. It includes 17 assorted piston pads and both left and right-hand thread tools to accommodate a wide range of caliper piston types. However, always verify compatibility with your specific vehicle model if unsure.
Generally, most standard calipers use a right-hand thread. However, many rear calipers, especially those with integrated parking brake mechanisms, require a left-hand thread. If you are unsure, consult your vehicle's service manual or visually inspect the caliper piston for thread direction markings.
This tool is specifically designed for *winding back* caliper pistons. The turning mechanism presses the piston back into the caliper body, which is necessary for accommodating new, thicker brake pads. It is not designed for simply pushing pistons straight in.
The tools are constructed from strong, heat-treated carbon steel, ensuring durability and resistance to wear during use.
The kit includes 17 assorted size piston pads designed to fit a wide variety of caliper piston configurations.
Yes, the durable construction and comprehensive adapter set make it suitable for both DIY home mechanics and professional use in a workshop environment.
The kit also includes 2 reaction plates, which are essential for providing a stable surface to push against while winding the piston.
Ensure you have selected the correct adapter size for the piston. Verify you are using the correct (left or right-hand) threaded tool if applicable.
Check for obstructions or damage to the caliper piston or bore. Ensure the reaction plate is securely seated against the caliper body for leverage.
Confirm the adapter is fully seated in its socket on the wind-back tool and that it correctly matches the piston face.
Ensure all tools are properly organized within their designated slots in the case.
