Abstract: In order for hydraulic disk brakes to function properly over time, associated brake pads are changed periodically. In order to exchange old brake pads for replacement brake pads, a disk brake may require pushing back the brake pistons within a brake caliper body in order to make room for installation of replacement pads. Current tools and methods typically require removal of a wheel from a vehicle, removal of a brake rotor from the wheel, and/or removal of the brake caliper body from a rotor. The presently disclosed caliper piston tool allows brake pads to be replaced without dismantling various components of the vehicle, resulting in significant time and cost savings as well as convenience for do-it-yourself and professional mechanics alike.

Abstract: A holding apparatus, in particular a chuck, for a substrate comprises a main body with a upper side, a carrier element arranged in a recess of the main body so as to be vertically movable such that it can be adjusted between a protruding loading position and a retracted clamping position, the carrier element comprising a support surface for placement of the substrate. The support surface has a smaller diameter than the main body. A lifting element lifts the carrier element to the loading position. The carrier element seals the recess such that a sealed cavity is provided between the main body and the carrier element, which cavity can have a negative pressure applied thereto which counteracts the effect of the lifting element.
