Caliper Piston Compression Tool

Before new pads can be installed over a new rotor, the caliper must be fully compressed to make space.

If a front brake line must be opened (as for replacement), leave this step for last. Compressing the caliper will reverse-bleed the line, as long as the caliper is compressed in its normal upright position, with the brake line connection at the top.
