QuickMech™ Disc Brake Pad Spreader Tool

Reset compatible brake pistons with controlled pressure. A brake-pad job gets frustrating when a C-clamp will not fit or only presses one piston at a time. The QuickMech™ Disc Brake Pad Spreader gives you a compact, fine-thread way to retract compatible push-in caliper pistons and make room for new pads. Why keep it in your garage? Controlled piston retraction: spreader plates apply pressure across compatible caliper pistons for brake-pad service. Fine-thread operation: adjust the tool gradually for a measured, hands-on feel. Useful drive options: use the fitted tommy bar, a 1/2 in drive ratchet, or a 0.83 in spanner as access allows. Compact steel plates: chemically blackened spreader plates measure 2 × 2-1/4 in each. 3-1/4 in maximum spread: verify clearance and caliper design before ordering. Built for compatible brake jobs: listed for select Nissan, Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Ford, GM, Peugeot, Renault, Rover, Volkswagen, and Porsche applications. Before you order For push-in brake caliper pistons only. Do not use on screw-type rear parking-brake pistons. Confirm caliper access, piston style, and required spread before ordering; vehicle make alone does not guarantee fitment. Use it carefully Keep both plates parallel and use an old brake pad or suitable flat backing surface to distribute pressure. Turn gradually. If a piston binds or will not retract normally, stop and inspect the caliper rather than forcing the tool. FAQs Will this fit my vehicle? Fitment depends on your caliper layout, piston type, access, and clearance. It is intended for compatible push-in caliper pistons and has a 3-1/4 in maximum spread. Can I use it on rear brake pistons? Only if the rear piston pushes straight in. Many rear calipers with an integrated parking brake require a piston rewind tool instead. Can I use a ratchet? Yes. The supplied information states that the tool accepts a 1/2 in drive ratchet; it can also be operated with its tommy bar or a 0.83 in spanner. Use gradual force and stop if the piston binds. ```
