Operation
• The instructions provided herein are only for general
information. ALWAYS perform all repairs in full
compliance with your vehicle’s service manual.
Particularly, ALWAYS tighten parts to the torque
ranges specied in the service manual. After any
repair, test your brakes and vehicle in your workshop
and at low speed before returning to normal use.
• DO NOT allow children or those unfamiliar with this
product and its compatible brakes to use it. Do not use
while tired or while intoxicated with alcohol, drugs, or
medication. Keep children and bystanders away during
use.
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common
sense when using this product. Keep your work area
clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite
accidents.
• ALWAYS wear personal protective equipment (PPE)
suitable for your task. Always wear ANSI-approved eye
protection. Other equipment such as hand protection
and non-slip footwear will usually be needed as well.
Dress properly for automotive servicing. Do not wear
loose clothing or jewelry. Keep hair and clothing away
from moving parts.
• ALWAYS activate your vehicle’s parking brake before
any engine work. If your vehicle requires one or both
front wheels to be removed to provide access to the
engine, use jacks and jack stands able to fully support
the necessary weight.
• ALWAYS disconnect and remove your vehicle’s battery
before working on the brake system. Large metal tools
can cause shorts and electric shock during accidental
contact with either terminal.
• Maintain this product. Check for misalignment, binding,
wear, or other damage before use. If any damage is
detected, repair or replace the problematic components
before further use.
1. Park your vehicle on level ground, activate its parking
brake, and turn o the engine. Allow your vehicle to
cool if it has become hot through recent use.
2. Jack up the vehicle. For best results, secure a
raised vehicle with one or more jack stands or other
appropriate supporting equipment.
3. Locate the brake caliper on the wheel you will be
working on. The brake pads are located inside the
caliper. Use a brake caliper tool or a large C-clamp
(not included) to compress the brake pads inside
the caliper. This will create space for the brake pad
spreader. Use retaining hooks (not included) to secure
the caliper pistons in place.
4. Insert the brake pad spreader between the brake pads
and into the caliper.
5. Turn the knob of the brake pad spreader to expand the
brake pads and create more space in the caliper. Keep
turning the handle until the brake pads are properly
aligned and the caliper is able to move freely.
6. Remove the brake pad spreader and compress the
brake pads again with the brake caliper tool or C-clamp
to ensure that they are properly seated.
7. Repeat the process on the other brake pads in the
caliper.
8. Service your vehicle as needed. Check the brake pads
for wear and replace them if necessary.
• For best results, clean with a mild detergent and soft
cloth after each use. Do not use caustic chemicals or
harsh abrasives. Rinse entirely clean and allow time to
dry completely before further use.
• Check the tool periodically for any signs of wear
or damage. Repair or replace any problematic
components before any further use.
• If this tool will not be used for an extended time, store
in a cool dry place inaccessible to children and away
from direct sunlight.
