7. Operasyon Enstriksyon
Follow these steps to effectively compress brake caliper pistons using the OEMTOOLS 25265 Disc Brake Pad Spreader:
- Prepare machin nan: Safely lift and support the vehicle. Remove the wheel and the brake caliper from its mounting bracket, following your vehicle's service manual.
- Pozisyon zouti a: With the old brake pad still in place (this helps protect the piston face), position the backing plate of the spreader against the caliper wall. The threaded end with the knob should be aligned with the brake pad and piston.
- Compress the Piston: Twist the green knob clockwise to extend the threaded shaft. This will press the brake pad against the piston, gradually retracting it into the caliper bore. Continue turning until the piston is fully retracted.
- Release and Remove: Once the piston is fully retracted, turn the knob counter-clockwise to disengage the tool. Remove the old brake pad and the spreader.
- Enstale nouvo kousinen yo: Install the new brake pads and reassemble the caliper according to your vehicle's service manual.
- Repeat for Multiple Pistons: If your caliper has multiple pistons, repeat the compression process for each piston as needed.

- Depo: Store the tool in a dry, clean environment to prevent rust and damage.
NAN. Depanaj
If you encounter issues while using the Disc Brake Pad Spreader, consider the following:
- Piston not retracting: Ensure the tool is properly seated against the brake pad and caliper. Check for any obstructions or seized pistons. If a piston is seized, further diagnosis and repair of the caliper may be necessary.
- Difficulty turning the knob: The threads may be dry or dirty. Clean and lubricate the threaded shaft. If resistance persists, inspect for damage to the threads or the knob.
- Tool bending or deforming: This tool is designed for standard brake caliper piston compression. Excessive force or improper application can cause damage. Ensure the tool is correctly aligned and not subjected to forces beyond its intended use.
