I have seen people at the track with them.. it fits on a Mikita and make retracting the rear calipers much eaiser.

Anyone know where one can get such a device.

 

I think you can order one from Honda. Hardly necessary, I use an old screwdriver and I think Greg uses a shelf bracket.

 

I haven't done the brakes on my S2K yet, but on my other Honda I use a small adapter I bought at the local autoparts store. Looks like a small metal cube with protrusions and holes on each face. You insert the appropriate end for your car into the caliper and then use a ratchet to turn it.

.....er ah Krazik. If you knew where to get one why did you start this thread? .

 

I didn't know... I posted hoping to find the drill bit peice.

After people saything to use other tools, I went and looked. I posted to share what I had found.

I am still hoping someone knows where I can find the bit tho. If I have to do a mid-track day pad change, I would like to save some extra time.

 

If anyone is still looking for one, Snap-On has the bit for just under $20.

I purchased a 3/8" socket to drill adapter at Sears.

It chucks into my Makita cordless drill, and will spin any 3/8" socket (or 1/2" socket with a standard adapter).

It makes taking tires on and off much easier...

I break them loose with a breaker bar, run the nuts off with the makita, run them back on with the makita (low torque) and tighten them with my torque wrench.

You could use the same adapter to spin that "hand" version you show, as it looks like it has a female 3/8" socket on the head. Would be nice if the handle was removable...

 

It takes some amount of torque to screw them in so I don't think a drill would be very easy to use. Since it is rarely done I found the old screwdriver with a square shaft was the ideal cheap tool (inspired by watching a mechanic at Honda use one).
