[Shotimes] Harbor Freight Caliper Tool

[DAVID PILLSBURY]

That's the one. what I have right now is a generic caliper spreader that use to just push in the piston then I took off the disk and machined a bar to fit the notches and threaded the bar to fit the screw and it works ok but I'm not really happy with when I unscrew I have to hold the bar with channel locks so the piston does not screw back out. Thanks for the heads up I think I might pass on it.

Is this the one in the red plastic case with several adapters? If so, just a
heads up. The way the tool assembles it will not fit inside the rear
caliper. The part that fits the notches on the piston is ok, it is the whole
tool that is too wide to fit inside the outer part of the caliper housing.
That doesnt mean you cant use it to retract the piston, it just wont be as
easy as you think.

and it says it does them all Ford Gm Mopar Imports etc. I hate the one I
have for rears it's hard to work. The picture looks nice. And it's on sale
for 19.99. I was thinking about running over there tomorrow and picking it
up if it's decent.
