Pad Spreader (Fixed Caliper)

[Ndx]

I successfully used tool similar to the second one ( ratcheting spreader ) on Brembos on P brand car.

Lang is the brand of tool, good price and made in USA

A semi-popular mechanic on YouTube uses that ratcheting, spreader type and seems to really like it.

Rainman Ray, I assume.

If you can't easily push the caliper back in with just a C clamp, consider that you might have other issues.

Like having a fixed-piaton caliper?

I meant if you can't easily push the piston back in, then consider the possibility that there are other issues (like a caliper clogged with sediment or brake hose issue). I got my terminology wrong above.
