Review on πŸ”§ Effortless Brake Piston Removal with OTC 4799 Locking Pliers - A Must-Have Automotive Tool! by Brad Bryant

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Tiny thing of above average quality.

I had a unique situation, a 2006 Tundra with four 13WL pistons in each caliper. I have learned that you will not remove the piston with this tool or any other tool for that matter. You must force them out with short, controlled bursts of compressed air and wooden shims to absorb the massive force developed by just 20psi. Despite this, it was not possible to completely remove all the pistons at the same time, since the first to go through the seal would release air. With this tool I was able to remove the last 3/4" of the remaining plungers. Again, that wasn't easy, but it certainly wouldn't have been possible without this tool. The tool held up well, although it took considerable effort to pull it out. Wear Be sure to wear goggles as brake fluid easily splatters I have to say this is a very good item thanks to the seller for providing it.

Pros
  • Complete Kit
Cons
  • Damaged
