Universal Brake Piston Retractor | New Tool Tuesday

[@petemiller5813]

I've had one of these kits from Harbor Freight for about 5 years and it works great.

[@rx7cl]

Been using kneeled nose plyers for 20 year's.. LoL..

[@danielcanizalez8127]

Awesome video brother 👍👍👍

[@00Papyrus]

Saved my @$%$! Life today...tool arrived and it all worked out. Instructions were not in english...fml. Video saved me!

[@milanmastracci]

Happy to hear brother!

[@thetraindriver01]

Nice little tool Milan, thanks 👍👍👍👍👍

[@milanmastracci]

Thanks brother! 🙌

[@E36andE46vlog]

I bought a kitt, but did'nt knew how the get the plate on it. Good movie! :) :)

[@premierfuncasino]

Great video

[@Dirtyharry70585]

Dude I own the dual threaded handles since 2005, a must, lefthand and righthand twist. Harbor Freight.

[@stacksamill471]

I'm glad I watched this video I was just about to buy new calipers in the rear for my 02 Lincoln Ls v8 ill just buy the tool instead of renting it thank you 👍

[@Magnus908754]

At the work, where i'm at, we use one that connects to an air hose. It's the same principle, but it's air instead that puts pressure on the piston.

[@jurnagin]

I can't get my front brake caliper to go back on! The bolts won't line up! What's the problem?

[@bchnts]

Already have this and I love it so practical and easy to use

[@milanmastracci]

Glad to hear it man!! :)

[@victort927]

P!S.. Left & Right rear caliper both turn right to compress ?

[@XxlittlemanX]

Might be a stupid question but what is the 3 teir attachment used for can't find info anywhere and never seen anyone use it

[@jayc4283]

Good video !! Every Autozone and O'Reilley's has this tool for free loaner, no sense in buying something unless you need it a few times a year. Also make sure your master cylinder reservoir has enough room for the fluid being pushed back into it without over flowing

[@MG-mt3ss]

IF they have the tool in their loan inventory !

[@victort927]

Do you remove the cap off from the break fluid reservoir ..When pushing that type of cylinder ?

[@bbeenn]

No. Not needed for a pad change.

[@mackyoo5564]

Very nice job..

[@henryfeliz4168]

What about if my rear caliper’s flat?

[@SJSOmar]

I I have a Saab and I had to buy this tool I bought it for 15 on amazon with free shipping it came with double what you have

[@bobardreemsself9057]

I just wanna know where you got that 20 dollar's at lol? Cause I just picked one of these up and it was no less that 55 dollars anywhere I looked.

[@milanmastracci]

Did you find the link in the description box?

[@bobardreemsself9057]

@@milanmastracci yeah I noticed after I commented like a dum dum that you said you got it on amazon. I was looking in autozone and advance auto for this tool set. I am sorry about that lol.

[@billbus10]

What do I do when the tool will not turn the piston clockwise on right (passenger side in US). I can turn it counterclockwise, but the piston will not retract. Any ideas? Right now I'm dead in the water unless I drive it to a shop with three brakes. Any way to release the spring that Milan mentions. I do have the Parking brake off.

[@milanmastracci]

Sounds like your caliper might need to either be rebuilt, or replaced. Sometimes they seize

[@LacyHidalgoGato]

crack your brake line to drop the pressure. You will have to bleed your brakes before you can drive it again, so you will need a helper to pump the brakes so you can bleed the air, and of course you will need to add some new brake fluid to replace what you bled. Usually if your piston won’t retract when your brake line is still connected you should examine your brake line for damage (pinched, or clogged line)

[@TheMotorcycleMuse]

That was handy to know thanks

[@TopSecretVid]

Great kit..did my 2003 Passat rear brakes. Used the loaner option from Autozone... These are so cheap cos china.

[@kaibrown987]

Do u open the brake reservoir cap or open the bleed nipple when pushing back the calliper piston. Thanks :)

[@milanmastracci]

To be honest, I don't do either of those. If the piston has been pushed back in without introducing air into the system, the brake system does not NEED to be bled, however it is a very good idea to bleed it afterwords by opening the bleed nipple found on each caliper.

[@kaibrown987]

milanmastracci thanks for the reply. :) I have alway opened the brake reservoir but heard it can damage the master cylinder by force fluid back through. I hear some people open the bleed nipple when winding back the piston. I have never bled the brakes after changing them 🤔. How much do you bleed them. Enough to release a bit of pressure or a full system bleed.. thanks again Kai 👍😊

[@tony8512]

Your awsome bro I was really trying to figure this out thank you great video.

[@alexv350z9]

how much for those 350z wheels in the back i’ll buy them

[@SS_STUDIO300_]

genius video thanks milan

[@jad67jd]

Cool it just like on my 1982, 280ZX.

[@davidrambarranable]

Hey champ. Great video 👍

[@MacMafiaBoss]

Another great video. What happened to the Audi?

[@milanmastracci]

Thank you Daniel!! I sold it a few weeks back. I posted it on my KZbin Community tab. Go have a look :)

[@d-s-ll2378]

I just like your style n subscribed your channel, a sunny boy, good teacher.👍

[@JordanCole.SaltandLight]

Don't get duped into buying the $60 kits from Autozone, Napa, Advance Auto, etc. I did as I didn't research online first. Found this kit and promptly returned the kit from Napa. No joke.. $60 compared to $20 online.

[@J8ck_hoff]

I just use needle nose pliers push in while turning.

[@milanmastracci]

Doesn't always work.. If the caliper works great and isn't too corroded, that method won't work.

[@tarek3702]

Shared and liked Ur video

[@konradc12]

Here in the UK, I bought a similar kit that has left and right hand thread for about £20 UK. It has been used on different cars, some had reverse thread. Still useful to have.

[@AliA-jr3iv]

i need one to my MINI

[@y0Vyro]

I ran into a problem on my sisters elantra. It had this style brake caliper and i didnt have the proper tool likes this so it was hell trying to figure out how it retracts. Gotta get one of these soon.

[@milanmastracci]

These things are super handy, not gonna lie 😁

[@abelgonzalez8618]

Gracias por la información me sirvió:)

[@Sergiosniper100]

Buy the Black 2013 Mini John Cooper Works thats for sale in Vancouver! It looks fucking awesome

[@milanmastracci]

For $50k, there are so many other car's I'd buy before I buy a GP.. I'd get a 370Z Nismo for that price

[@Sergiosniper100]

milanmastracci Fair enough, Great video one again 👍

[@milanmastracci]

Like what? ;)

[@omardelgado287]

Just bought 1 today $60 AutoZone

[@HUGO-jg2dn]

At my job we just use a crowbar and push the piston in while everything is still assembled, so we don’t worry about that later. (Leverage)

[@milanmastracci]

That can be done for the front callipers, or the rear callipers without the hand brake mechanism attached to the caliper.

[@HUGO-jg2dn]

Jay K grown men who can’t even show their face , shouldn’t argue w “kids” on KZbin comments. But yet here u are looking a dumbass so🤷🏻‍♂️

[@appleman812]

I just use a C-Clamp and the old brake pad to push that sucker back in... works like a charm.

[@milanmastracci]

That might work for calipers that don't have the parking brake mechanism attached to the caliper, but not for ones that do have it

[@s197_demonray8]

That damn tool kit cost 130 for $ where im at lmfao

[@ItsTheFry]

#MilanBoiz

[@rigobertodimas8014]

I payed $64 from auto zone new

[@jamesbryson9542]

Free to borrow in US at any AutoZone or similar store.

[@tarek3702]

It's $50 cdn USD $20 plus import tax

[@cloaizap]

Brake fluid shouldn't be refilled, instead low level tells you that brake pads needs to be checked/replaced

[@GTloverGT]

Either that or the system should be checked for leaks

[@jackangel168]

That's to much work

[@eladioredin2124]

You talk too much.
