Review on 🔧 OTC 7034 Brake Pad Disc Spreader – Improved SEO-friendly Product Name by Jerome Brooks

I've been using one of these for decades and love the ease of use and compactness of this tool. Just make sure you install new pads in the caliper first, as this is sometimes necessary to push the pistons back far enough to get them over the rotor. I also open the bleed valve when I'm pushing the pads apart to let the old fluid out of the caliper. Remember to tighten the bleed screw before removing the tool so you don't suck air back into the caliper. Not everyone does this, and they haven't had any issues with ABS causing fluid back into the system, but every manual I've read encourages it, and it doesn't hurt. You can lubricate the tool's pressure screw with some diff fluid or something else, which will also make the job easier.
