Review on πŸ”§ 8MILELAKE Disc Brake Pad Spreader Tool - Caliper Piston Installation Spreader for Efficient Brake Pad Replacement by Jack Ngo

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Think outside the box, classic bikers.

Ok for the intended purpose: slightly larger and better than the competition, and a good price. But I got it so I don't have to use an old ratchet to remove and reinstall the carburetor on my classic Honda CB400f. Simply place it between the head and carb block and spread it apart to start the process, then move it to the other end so you don't tip the block too much and potentially damage the flexible hoses between the carb and head. To reinsert them, slide a piece of wood between the frame tube and the spacer and reinsert them, alternating from the front. Use a ratchet wrench, not a handle. Much more civilized for an old guy (75 years old) than heroically pulling or fumbling with a ratchet. And cleaning up carbs is a lot safer 😎

Pros
