Very good idea.You are good at thinking outside the box ! I'm amazed in all my years of DIY on cars I have never come across this.

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

Thanks very much ! :)

[@cliffdiver1965]

Great idea, much faster than the pinch calipers I used last time. I tried that on the rear until I found out they have go be rotated clockwise while being compressed. Thanks.

L love this! Very useful. I normally use a 4" C clamp with an old brake pad.

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

Thanks, yeah that works well too !

[@olivetree633]

Awesome. Thanks. I always used C clamp, but now i will use your method. I don't know why i never thought about something like this. I was at Harber Freight looking to buy a tool set but thanks to you i don't have to now. Thanks again man👍

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

You're very welcome !

[@danielsprot6059]

Very handy, not complicated

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

Thanks !

[@roadwarrior8560]

Great idea, why do rear pistons need to be rotated when pushing them back in though? makes no sense??

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

It's due to the self adjusting handbrake mechanism that's usually built into the rear calipers.

[@richardostroman8978]

nice job, did you ever try and just pry the pads while they are mounted? its old school, but it works.

[@Chinoz2]

This is what im looking for. Neat
