At this point in time, I cannot access it, but I am certain that there are This would probably be for like 4". This appears to work well on my car, which has carbon ceramic rotors that are quite thick and still have plenty of
Even though I cannot speculate on the job, I believe it is rugged enough to handle it and I have no doubt that it will collapse to the proper size.
This is the work I did on my Honda CR-V 2011 If the pistons are too far apart for the tool to "grab" on to, you can use your old pad.
Whenever there are calipers on a car or bike, it will work

The tool worked great on 6 piston AMG brake calipers (Brembo). Once the caliper and rotor have been removed, the pistons are compressed three times, at the top, at the bottom, and then at the center. This is something I would buy again, if I were to use it occasionally, but I don't think I will need to. Ensure that the nyloc nut is tightened when you receive it, since it comes with a loose nut.
The following tip To use this tool, open the bleeder bolt (with a drain hose to a bottle of discard fluid) as you spread the slave pistons. It is much faster to spread pistons out when you drain out a few dollars worth of fluid, particularly on calipers with multiple piston pairs. It also prevents brake fluid from being pushed back up the lines, which prevents the brake fluid reservoir from overflowing. When spreading, make sure not to allow any air to get back into the caliper by only opening the bleeder bolt while you're doing so. Be sure to top up the brake fluid reservoir after replacing the brake pads, but before you step on the brake pedal. To top off your reservoir, you can suck dry the reservoir with a vacuum bleeder first. Make sure to discard the old fluid as much as If you don't finish bleeding the system at that point, top off the reservoir while pumping the brakes to return the pistons to their original position.
My Audi S4 2013 front brake pads need to be changed, so I purchased this kit to aid in the process. wasn't clear to me what the correct way to use it was, so I tried a few different approaches The following are the steps to a successful reading By closing the spreader, it is possible to compress the piston by opening it and using its inner sides. Taking the doors open all the way would have worked, but it does not open much at all to fit the brakes in as they are already in almost fully retracted position. 2) - To push the piston, close it and open the spreader to use the outer sides. Although it worked, it didn't push the piston evenly since it is designed that way. Additionally, it is confusing that you can mount it on the piston side with the head facing down (which limits turning the piston by half) or the other way around. I would spend more money and spend more time figuring out how to use it. It did the job, but I would buy a spreader that can push from the middle and is more practical. The spring could not be compressed far enough to remove the retaining spring, and I also wanted to use this to remove the retaining spring.
We worked on my truck as well as my wife's It appears to be a fairly well-made product. Clamps didn't seem to work as well as a U This was a great buy for me. Having said that, I would advise pushing back one piston at a time when using the calipers with dual pistons, and then positioning them so you can push both back at once. I also like the fact that you can press the pistons back with a ratchet.
The DIY and professional use of this product is ideal. It must be used in the correct manner. 1) Press the brake pedal all the way down and hold it. The brake valves in the system are closed by this action. Ensure that you install a pedal depressor to hold the brake pedal in place (very 3) Remove the brake caliper by opening the bleeder screw. 3) Leave both brake pads inside the caliper and use a hydraulic press to press back the piston ( the bleeder screw must be open in order for more fluid to drain out) 4) tighten
Wash your hands afterwards and be sure your fluid level is sufficient.
This product was purchased to replace an old hand-made expander that was nearing its end of its useful life. On a 2015 Toyota Rav 4, the disc calipers have an enclosed frame that will not allow this kind of spreader to work since it basically involves two paddles that you would stick between the pad frame and piston. Adding the unit to the rear brakes was quite easy since there is an open frame on these. In my opinion, it worked quite well. However, I can see where the comments about the paddles bending could be an issue because the force would not arrive at the center of the paddle to create contact with the piston, but would instead be generated by the end where the turn screw produces In the case of brakes that have an open frame and are not extremely heavy duty, this may be a good option. Before you buy a caliper, be sure to look at it.
After spreading out the pads enough, I positioned the paddles on the gadget to rest on the old pad material to evenly compress the calipers. I recommend lubrication oil for the moving parts of the tool to keep it in good working condition. Compared to purchasing the same tool at my local big box auto store, I saved over $15.
Adding a little design to this tool could make it amazing. In the end, it helped me replace my brake pads by pushing on the pistons (which I couldn't do with my bare hands) and freeing them While it was bendable, it also sagged a lot. From the photo, it appears that the pieces of metal will remain parallel to each other as you crank the tool, but really, they do not stay parallel. In my opinion, they managed to exert enough pressure in order to accomplish their goal A lot of repositioning needs to happen around the pistons so they are all able to move equally. You can count on me using it again sometime, and it wasn't too expensive!.
