I can't recommend this as a master tech, there are much better methods. I have what looks to be the same kit in a different brand that just collects dust.

I got this years ago thinking I'd finally quit fighting with c clamps. No. Waste of money

This brake piston press kit is mainly useful for rear calipers and other pistons that must be rotated back instead of simply pushed in. It can make awkward brake jobs easier than fighting with a C clamp, especially when the caliper and tool line up well. The main limitation is that many vehicles with electronic parking brakes need a different service mode or tool, and some Ford setups may not fit these inserts. For basic front pads, a clamp or rental tool may be enough, so this is a handy low cost specialty kit.

Common Questions (5)

  • A C-clamp can work on front pads and some simple calipers, but it will not work on many rear calipers that must be rotated while retracting. For those setups, this tool is the right style and can prevent damage.

    Adelleypmzo33Mynaga4nick8er

  • Yes, it is meant for calipers that must be rotated or clocked back while being compressed, which is common on rear calipers with an integrated parking-brake screw mechanism. A plain C-clamp often will not work on those calipers.

    pmzo334nick8erAdelley

  • No, electronic parking brakes usually need service/maintenance mode or a dedicated electronic brake tool instead. This kit is for non-electronic calipers that retract by rotating the piston, not for motor-driven e-brakes.

    pmzo33cbeadlescbeadles

  • It can be worth trying at under $15, especially if you run into pistons that need to be turned as they retract. It is also available as a free loaner from AutoZone, so buying it is less compelling if you only need it once.

    blacknightEdMcK515fsu67

  • It reportedly does not have the right inserts for many Ford electronic parking-brake setups, especially trucks. A ratcheting or duckbill-style tool, or an electronic brake service tool, may be needed instead.

Autozone will rent this out to you for free. Though this will save you the trip. Personally I just use a block of wood and a clamp.
O'Reilly too. If you're not buying pads from them it's actually 2 trips...

Some of the newer calipers have ebrakes systems have a motor and require you to rotate it in and not push it in. Though mine has a some long combination of button presses inside the car to disable the motor but I heard there are some who don't have it.

A C-clamp wont work on many calipers, particularly rear where parking brake is intrigal to the Caliper. the hydraulic piston also contains a screw type mechanism to apply parking brake and the piston must be rotated or "clocked" back while simultaneously applying pressure to reset the piston into the caliper bore

I use to do that. But some brake are weird to put a c-clamp on it. Until I got set as a gift. These are so much nicer when they are lined up and easy to use.

You don't have to, there's other options, like enabling brake service/maintenance mode, and definitely don't let the caliper dangle as he did in that video
That's for electronic parking brakes. The type of parking brakes that need this tool are not electronic. There's no motor to put in service mode with them.
