Thanks for this, it saved me some time and made me feel a little stupid at the same time. I knew that force plate had to go on there but for the life of me couldn't figure out how to get either the t-handle to come off or the other end. It was pretty funny to see how easy it was to just slide the t-handle one way and then the other when I had put so much effort into it. BUT, I'll know next time! I tried to go with the universal block adapter at first($10) but found it impossible to put enough pressure on it while turning the piston. At O'Reilly's Auto Parts you have to leave a $60.00 deposit for the tool set and it's well worth it! Anyway, I got it done and this video helped so thanks for that.

This tool is so simple to use. Cost in California is $60 and a 90 return. Returned it the next day since I got it at night. I used my old inner pad to press in the piston. As the piston is very deep in my 2000 chevy tahoe limited 5.7ltr OBS. Thank you for your video. 😁

Doing the rear brakes on a VW Golf today, I have that kit, this video was perfect for showing me how to use it 👍

Hey thanks for the video. Got a lot of tools for my dad after he passed and now I’m learning it all. Thank you for explaining it

Never put pads on my daughter 2003 Mini Cooper before, Frt's went on the old "C" clamp way to compress the cylinders, but the backs use the screw in types, like your video showed. Luckily I watched the video before I attempted the backs, glad I did, then they went on fine. Thanks for putting this on Youtube, you saved me and probably a lot of other people from doing the back one's wrong. Didn't know the back one's screwed in.  Never to old to learn something new.  Thanks again.       Phillip

Thanks. Just used this tool on my rx7's 30yr old brake calipers that haven't been used in about 10 years. Took my He-Man strength cause they were seized, but I was able to get my new brake pads in and on the rotors. Saved about 150$ for reman calipers.

Only video I could find that actually showed how to use this tool and made it so I could understand. Thank you!

I've been struggling for 2 hours and decided to search on youtube. You explained it perfectly and now I feel really dumb 🤦‍♂️

[Davidsama]

Thanks man, I was wondering how that tool was used. Thanks once again, this helps.

Thank you so much. Instructions did not show us how to put the plate on. Great handy video.

[MiteyMOofyearsAgo]

Thank you! I bought this set because i own 4 vehicles plus friends and such. I went to use it and no instructions! I figured someone here would show me how it is done. Cheers!

[cathoare]

Thank you so very much for putting this video up 😀😀
Just bought a brake kit like the one you're using and replacing all 4 rotors and pads. It's so much easier to understand when you can watch and visualise rather than just reading a blurb.

Awesome info. Got the job done easy and right because of your help. Thanks guys!!

[johnjoseph]

the main thing i needed this for was for how to get the spreader on the tool....when i seen you slide it on the other end i felt like an idiot
good vid

[benjaminsmith]

Idk why I didnt take the time to figure the tool out so simple, but thanks for the video helped a lot.

You don’t have to open the bleeder but it’s good to let some of that old fluid out rather than recycle it over and over, if it collects to much moisture I’ve heard it can cause the brakes to fail when very hot

[hustle]

Thanks and I didn’t know about the brake bleeding trick. Nice!

I have a 2008 Ford Taurus X SEL. The caliper on my L/R wheel screws in Clockwise. The caliper on my R/R wheel screws in CounterClockwise. There are other Caliper Piston Tool sets with a L/H screw and R/H screw included. Not just one screw, just to let you guys know.

[WhiskeyCowboy]

The piston in the caliper should be able to be easily pushed back into the caliper. No need for breaking the bleeder. If it's taking a lot to push back into the caliper you might want to look into replacing.
