I was just wondering if anyone have a disc brake spreader I can borrow for a day. I was doing my brakes on the s2 last night and I realized that my spreader is nowhere to be found. Of course I will be the one coming to you or whatever is convenient for you. The sooner the better Thanks in advance.

If this is the tool to push the piston back into the caliper, a local parts store (AutoZone, Advanced Auto, etc) probably offers one as a loaner. Might be more convenient than finding a nearby member with one.

 

Yes it is. Cool, Thank you sir!

 

You can also use a large pair of pliers to squeeze the piston back in. I have also seen people use a caulk gun. You would position the gun so that the rod of the caulk gun passes through the horseshoe opening of the caliper and pushing directly on the brake piston.

Just 2 other options for future reference.

 

SWEET even better! I'm going to try the caulking gun now. Thanks!

 

Plus they dont cost that much to buy another one lol

 

I use either a C clamp or channel locks.

 

C clamp works great

 

I'm strong enough to do the fronts of my s2k with my bare hands (actually just did that last night). Even though I have the appropriate tool, it's easier/faster just to grab it and squeeze real hard.

(I have strong hands, all that fapping really paid off!)

 

Wow! Impressive.
