Looking For Caliper Spreader Tool

Marrk · 11-02-2009, 05:04 PM

I'd be grateful if someone would provide the correct name, manufacturer, part number, and/or pic of the proper tool for spreading apart the brake pads when they are in the caliper. I'm pretty sure that such a tool exists.

Please, no ITDs (Improvised Tool-like Device). I already know how to do things the wrong way.

I think he wants a tool for when the caliper is on the car... which honestly makes no sense.

NAPA has one.
