Brake Caliper tool

What's everybody using to compress the calipers when doing the brakes

I use a C-clamp while laying the old pad over the piston to equalize the pressure, easy does it! :cowboy:

These work really well and should be easy to find.

C-clamp or channel locks.

C-clamp and old pads.

You really don't need a tool here. Keep one brake pad inside the caliper and press the other two to go in. Then slide the removed pad inside and throw in a bigger box socket to fill the space between the pad and rotor. Then remove the other pad and compress those two pistons.
