brake repair

[Miguel]

Hey eric I have a question if you have a car that has double piston calipers can they both be compressed by using the old brake pad to push them in with a c-clamp?

You COULD use a C-CLamp… Personally, I’ve found it MUCH easier with the tool for it. Go to Advance auto or Auto zone, they make a CClamp that goes through a metal or plastic piece the shape of a brake pad… Okay I can’t describe it. Here. Go buy this…. MUCH Easier…

I think they call it a piston compression tool or something like that… Makes your life so much easier…

And don’t forget to bleed the overflow valve as Eric shows in his video

look at the video around 3:30

A c clamp and an old pad will be fine. 🙂
