Brake piston tool

prusaprinters

<p>This is a tool to help easily compress the brake caliper piston on my 2007 Nissan Titan. I had been using a wood block but it would slip around and pinch the piston boot.</p> <p>It sure is nice to be able to design and print a tool in 30 minutes rather than drive to the auto supply store :). It works perfectly.</p> <p>Here are a few tips from my mechanic friends..<br/> Loosen the fluid fill cap and keep an eye on the fluid level, remove excess with a syringe.<br/> Compress the piston very slowly, keeps brake fluid from squirting out and allows piston boot to seat well.<br/> Lubricate and clean the piston boot with brake fluid before compressing the piston.<br/> Turn the wheel fully one way while working on each side for better access to the bolts.<br/> Remove rust from torque member where pad retainer seats and apply lubricant to both sides of pad retainer.</p> <p>Update..I added the rear piston tool, a bit smaller.</p> <p>Here are the rear tool parts..<br/> <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3044658">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3044658</a></p> <p>A360 viewer..<br/> <a href="https://a360.co/2vgC4PA">https://a360.co/2vgC4PA</a></p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><p>Category: Automotive</p>
