Review on πŸ”§ SOMTTON Brake Caliper Piston Rewind Tool - Right Handle Set for Easy Disk Brake Pad Replacement on Most Cars by James Broome

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Turn counterclockwise then clockwise

This tool worked well on the rear caliper pistons of a 2014 Honda Accord. After aligning and inserting the two protruding pins/tongues into the cross-slotted brake piston, turn the knurled knob counter-clockwise to press the black pressure plate firmly against the two brake fingers. Begin turning the "T” handle clockwise and the piston will retract into the caliper body. Stop about every quarter turn and pull/turn the knurled knob counter-clockwise to keep the pressure plate pressed against your fingers, then turn the T-handle again to pull the plunger back even further. Repeat this process until it is fully run in, making sure the caliper piston cross slots end when the caliper piston cross slots are aligned perpendicular to the caliper pins (if you are unsure, you can take a picture of it beforehand what the "alignment" looks like). You start pulling the plunger back). ).

Pros
  • nice thing
Cons
  • there are nuances
