  • Dual piston disc brake caliper compressor
    Patent number: 7076850
    Abstract: A tool for spreading dual piston brake pads and for compressing the dual pistons of a dual piston disc brake assembly of the type including a disc brake caliper housing for the pads and pistons. The tool includes manually operated handles which drive a bracket assembly that engages the dual piston disc brake pads. The housing for the tool includes a plate which is engaged against the caliper housing. The plate and bracket assembly are driven in a manner which causes them to become spaced from one another. A mechanical advantage is achieved by utilization of handles with a lever arm extension associated with a pivotal handle.

  • Disc brake pad spreading tool
    Patent number: 6874217
    Abstract: A tool for spreading brake pads and for compressing the piston of a disc brake assembly of the type including a disc brake caliper housing for the pads and piston. The tool includes manually operated handles which drive a rod attached to a plunger that engages one of the disc brake pads. The housing for the tool includes a backing plate which is engaged against the caliper pad. The backing plate and plunger are driven in a manner which causes them to become spaced from one another. A mechanical advantage is achieved by utilization of handles with a lever arm extension associated with a pivotal handle.

  • Disc brake pad spreader
    Publication number: 20040134052
    Abstract: A tool for spreading brake pads and for compressing the piston of a disc brake assembly of the type including a disc brake caliper housing for the pads and piston. The tool includes manually operated handles which drive a rod attached to a plunger that engages one of the disc brake pads. The housing for the tool includes a backing plate which is engaged against the second pad. The backing plate and plunger are driven in a manner which causes them to become spaced from one another. A mechanical advantage is achieved by utilization of handles with a lever arm extension associated with a pivotal handle.
