Brake Piston Spreader 40-68 mm
This ratchet-type spreader fits single, twin and quad-piston calipers across a 40 to 68 mm working range. It is built for mechanics and DIY owners who need to retract pistons during pad replacement on most cars and light trucks. The tool includes two steel plates measuring 4-5/8 by 2-3/8 inches for even force distribution.
Carbon Steel Construction and Ratchet Mechanism
The body uses carbon steel with plastic grip sections and spans roughly 270 mm (10.7 inches) overall. A ratcheting action advances the plates only when inward pressure is applied, so both sides must be squeezed together for the first few swings until they seat in the caliper. A C-clamp can assist if extra leverage is needed.
Clearance and Compatibility Checks
Verify at least 1.5 inches of space between the caliper edge and piston face before ordering. The spreader will not ratchet without load on both plates, so confirm the tool can physically reach the pistons on your specific brake assembly. Buyers working on calipers with less than 1.5 inches of access or non-standard piston layouts should look elsewhere.
