Tis eliminates the need to grab another specialty tool when dealing with rotating piston designs. Te tool kit consists of a hand-lever- operated compressor tool that features a fxed plate that engages against the outer cavity section of the caliper body. As the lever is squeezed, the ram rod extends, placing pressure against the piston. A set of three adapters is included, with the appropriate adapter connecting to the end of the rod via a simple 3/8-inch square drive. When the job calls for pushing a piston that does not require piston rotation, a fat "pinless" adapter is placed onto the ram. Insert an old pad against the piston, with the fat adapter contact- ing the old pad. Simply squeeze the tool's lever grip, applying successive strokes to Three adapters are included, two of which feature drive pins for servic- ing rotating style pistons. The fat, non- pin adapter is used for push- in, non-rotat- ing pistons. Each pin adapter features a diferent pin layout on each side, providing a total of four pin confgura- tions for wide coverage on a number of vehicles.
