Roman Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Hey, I put 4 pot brakes on the front of my car so it's super quick to change pads at a trackday or whatever if need be. And, yes, it is a LOT easier to quickly yank the pads out! BUT It's a giant kick in the balls trying to get the pistons back in, and I dont want to lever against the disc. Does anyone know of a tool similar to this that you could buy from BNT or where ever? Or have any good ideas on how to make something similar for minimal effort For Nissan R33 calipers. Ideas, go! EDIT: Aahhhh nevermind, E-bay is flooded with simple tools which will do the trick. Problem solved haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajg193 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 How long do your pads last? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roman Posted October 27, 2014 Author Share Posted October 27, 2014 How long do your pads last? The last set... 1 trackday Hopefully a bit more longevity with non weetbix pads though. But yeah for one reason or another, I've had to pull my front suspension apart maybe 10 times since I've had my car together... So I'd like to make things easier when this happens too. So I get what you're saying. But I need to push the pistons back in for any job relating to brakes / hubs / bearings / struts / whatever.

CorollaGT Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 http://www.lasertools.co.uk/item.aspx?cat=1259&item=5335 I got one of these and they are brilliant. There are probably cheaper options around but these are nice to use and makes it super easy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roman Posted October 27, 2014 Author Share Posted October 27, 2014 Hey thanks... Yeah there are ones that look like those on Ebay for about 25 bucks + shipping. But probably horribly made by comparison haha. Although I will go have a geez at BNT etc today and see if there's anything similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoKer Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 G/F clamp? or lever against the old pad with a big stick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roman Posted October 27, 2014 Author Share Posted October 27, 2014 Levering against the pad = levering against the disc. Not keen on that as I've just got new wheel bearings and not keen to be putting a lot of force on them.Sorted now anyway, gonna run down the road to Radium this morning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
