Lisle Lisle Brake Pad Spreader

I have owned this tool for a little more than a year now. It works like a charm. It works best if you remove the cap from the master cylander before using the tool to press the caliper cylanders back. Should be commen sense. But I've seen many folks over the years not think of doing this step before trying to depress the caliper cylander. Be careful though. You usually will have brake fluid overflow from the master cylander, because the fluid is being pushed back up into the master cylander. Once the cap is removed from the master cylander. Pull the arm all the way back on the tool, set it in the caliper where the brake pads set, and start sqeezing the leaver on the tool. The arm will move forward pressing the cylander back with ease. If it doesn't, your brake caliper will most likely be bad and needing replaced. Moral to all of this. I can't believe someone never thought of this tool sooner. Makes changing your brakes literally a snap. I haven't found a negative thing to say about the performance of the tool. However, lets be honest. It's nothing more then a chaulking gun with a plate attached to it. The price is a bit on the high side of things. Other then that, works great.

Casting broke first time i used it. Spent extra for better tool and it failed. Will return it this week.
