Brake Caliper Piston Rewind Tool Kit

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

Here's a video showing how to compress a rear caliper piston both with, and without special tools: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKS8eJZro92Xpsk

[@dstevens2612]

Simple, direct instruction without any BS. Extremely helpful. Thank you.

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

You're welcome!

[@thabangthemechanic7213]

Today i learned something new. I never thought i could use this tool on the front, i always use it on the rear brakes only...

[@jrod7065]

I like the tools and the video to just straight to the point and no taking BS that is the way it is. Thumbs up

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

Thank you !

[@tsepash]

The proper adapter to use for this type of caliper would be the #3 adapter. The #3 adapter does not spin on the caliper piston which could cause it to crack or chip the piston. It also puts less wear on the tool, the caliper and the user.

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

Thanks, I explained that in the video description 👍

[@tsepash]

@screwsnutsandbolts Yeah, guess I should read the descriptions more. Lol I really just commented because I know it helps to boost your channel. Keep on Keepin' on!

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

Thanks for watching, I appreciate it 👍@@tsepash

[@mmmmmlemons]

For front brakes that just require pushing it, there is an adapter on the right side of the case that rotates so you do not grind against the piston.

[@wonderfulworld5134]

Usually only a C-clamp pushes back the hydraulic cylinder, A L T H O U G H, on Nissan Altima, the rear disk brakes needed this screwing in motion whilst turning to push the cylindar back. I never would have guessed the secret to push back the cylinder without a good video such as this. Ran, not walked to the Harbor Freight and bought this tool and it worked.

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

Thanks, this updated video shows it being used on both front and rear calipers: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXqzl4ivZb6UeZo

[@joelh3030]

Just bought an 11pc maddox set from harbor freight for $40, Im an entry level technician and ill be moving to brakes by the end of the year at my job. This exactly like the kit I got so i hope im able to do any brakes/rotors without missing any pieces

[@UncleMichaelable]

This is what an informational video is supposed to be.

[@badtothebone346]

If you're doing driver and passenger side do you use the same reaction body thus turning in the same direction?

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

Yes it's the same on both sides. This video shows how to retract both front and rear calipers: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXqzl4ivZb6UeZo

[@badtothebone346]

@@screwsnutsandbolts I rented one after watching your video, and could not get the piston to move. I ultimately determined it was frozen and replaced the caliper.

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

@@badtothebone346 That's a pity, hope it wasn't too expensive !

What ?😮

[@ProMachinist]

Great little video. Thats exactly how it's done. Andy ~

[@BenedictAmuzu]

Mind got stuck it won’t turn anymore what should I do

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

Rotate the body of the tool clockwise to loosen it and then remove the tool

[@Pratt722]

I have the exact same kit (21pz). It gets the job done nicely, but for example the N6 and N7 plate adapter are the exact same, the N3 doesnt have the holes to be atached, so i dont know how to use it. The A plate doesn't fit in the pusher.. If you are in doubt about getting the 18 or 21 just go for the 18. It doesn't worth the extra money, and anyway you will be using only 3 plates.

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

You're probably right. 3 plates ?.....maybe 2 lol

[@MKasap-te8vm]

Are the 2 reactors same?

[@mikeb1039]

I got one of these LOCKED tight on my caliper yesterday and spent hours trying to get it off with no success. Ended up cutting it off with a cut off wheel. What a PITA!!!!!!

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

Ouch !

[@howado]

I followed this guide and after 1st caliper I realized something must be wrong, with that many adapters we should not rub against the caliper itself.. The correct adapter for hollow calipers like shown on video is visible at 1:19 just under right hand. It’s a few layers of different diameter solid circles. This stays inside caliper without spinning, while you spin 2nd adapter inside that one. Sounds maybe more complex that it is..

[@derrickfrancis4]

What u mean bro?

[@mranalogman3525]

I know something looked off. Hopefully the correct adaptor doesn't rotate on the piston like that. Would it kill them to include a short instruction sheet in the kit! Anyway, thanks for the video I would have never figured out what the reaction plate was for.

[@Ntwadumela1]

My problem is that no adapter fits the adapter you're talking about. The tool does not fit directly either, there is too much play.

[@Goldadon]

Great video, just to the point. I love it.

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

Thanks for watching !

[@JHunt6352]

You can also use pusher instead of spinner.

[@thomasdestry5188]

Excellent and informative video. 🎉Thank you so much‼️

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

You're welcome, thanks for watching !

[@Finglesham]

Back brakes are more difficult as teh handbrake cable does not allow such easy access to the calliper. Also on my estate Mondeo left and and right hand have to be rewound in opposite directions. Clear video thanks

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

Thanks. This video shows the kit being used on both the front and rear calipers: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXqzl4ivZb6UeZo

[@JaviGuadarama]

Great video bro 😎 👍👍🙏

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

Thank you 👍

[@secondfirstsecond]

Hi can you tell me how to know if the piston is left hand or right hand type? I bought the kit but I only see 1 handle for right rotation only.

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

If there's only one handle with a kit it will usually be right handed. Nearly all pistons are rotated clockwise as you reset them. Very few are rotated counterclockwise

[@multimillionairet602]

Is it best to drain the brake reservoir beforehand?

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

You could remove some fluid from the reservoir before you begin but don't let the level drop below the minimum line at any stage or you could let air into the system

[@r.innovationsweinnovatesoo2915]

@@screwsnutsandbolts Always make sure the lid on the brake resevoir is open to let the pressure out when using the tool

[@michaelcorleone8096]

How do you know when the piston is all way in ? Thanks for the video

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

You'll know when you feel the resistance and stops turning. You shouldn't have to use too much force as you push it in

[@joeayers3777]

When you hear a moan...

[@KING-MUFFASA]

Do you need to open the bleeder doing this ?

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

Some people recommend doing it but it's not absolutely necessary, especially if the brake fluid is relatively new.

[@whatdadogdoin7531]

Okay so how do I push the piston out?? By pumping the brake pedal??

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

Yes, but don't push it out too far or it can pop out of the caliper

[@gregorylichtenson757]

Also a little brake Grease around piston

[@nhdana1]

Great video! Right to the point. Much appreciated.

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

[@romulusamy8829]

what is that thing that is pop out of the drive key? In some of them are 2, not just one. I guess is for pistons like golf mk5 but I want somebody to confirm. :)

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

They fit into the slots on rear brake pistons that have to be rotated as they're being pushed back in

[@inityo]

I have a modification idea to cut the lenght so I can use a socket drill on the socket

[@johnmilner7603]

If all your pistons are the push only type then save your money and use a C clamp with an old brake pad against the piston. Been using C clamps since 1973.

[@jeremyhuntington1]

Lol they haven’t made those in 20 yrs. Go sit down grandpa

[@wolfgangdraving1127]

​@@jeremyhuntington1 just changed my 2018 Lexus ES brakes with a C-clamp

[@dandyer8351]

C clamp fine for fronts but back need turning and pushing at same time.

[@midnightrunner684]

I just vote Trump 2024 M.A.G A and it makes my brakes Great Again

[@Jynoz]

I thought a c clamp would work on my TSX, like I usually use for my cars before, but it has to be rewound. I miss cars that are easier to work on without specialized tools.

[@Tintoycar]

Why a left handed and righthanded tool? Isn't it always clockwise to push the piston back?

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

Apparently the odd caliper has a counterclockwise thread although I've never come across one.

[@Ntwadumela1]

The rear calipers sometimes have a handbrake mechanism, the pistons in them need to be screwed in. In some cars they are screwed in clockwise and in others counterclockwise. This problem does not apply to front calipers where you simply compress the piston without rotating it. You can use any tool here.

[@Benzknees]

Why do these kits all have clockwise & anti-clockwise drivers, when the rear brakes screw in clockwise?

[@cmos64]

Some cars have both of them on the rear. Left side has anti-clockwise and ride side clockwise (piston goes in like the wheel rotates forward).

[@Benzknees]

@@cmos64 - That's odd! How do you know which car has which type of rear caliper (i.e. clockwise, anti-clockwise or both)?

[@cmos64]

@@Benzknees Without a workshop manual I don't think there's an indication of the type just by looking at it. If you don't know start just by turning slowly by hand without pushing in and you'll figure it out.

[@-a6833]

Soo, mine is seized (vw scirocco), I tried with the brake fluid resservoir cap off, tried it with the thing on also (dunno why), I also tried after disconnecting the hand brake cable, I have tried both directions assuming I must've been an idiot, but nothing seems to have worked, it's as stuck as can be and really clamping the pads onto the rotors hard when I "slide" it back on (with force as it's the only option), any ideas..? Getting a little desperate here, did I miss something?

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

Just to be sure, you are rotating the piston as you push it in ?

20 bucks for this kit is not expensive and it will do multiple vehicles if they have key style pistons

[@ef7480]

You can't just push in a rear piston on a caliper (you can on front caliper) as there is a threaded rod connected to the piston that the handbrake uses to twist the piston against the disc (mechanical and electric handbrakes). If you force the piston in, you could strip the thread etc. The piston must be turned in rather than pushed, hence the kit with all the different diameter bits with lugs on that locate in the piston to turn it.

[@timbogtimbog7410]

If the piston was all taken out, this tool won't fit in a caliper.
