Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

I use a microfiber and a self adjusting wrench to squeeze the pad against the caliper using the tab that sticks up on the pad and the caliper.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Professional tool, not a bucket of bolts and plates. New batch just manufactured, shoot me a note via e-mail. Perfect for / manufactured specifically for 4 & 6 piston calipers:

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

POST 4Original post

Wow, that's steep. Probably worth it for a shop owner but us every once in a while guys it's hard to justify. Very neat product though.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

If you swap out for track days - and do them often - it's a great way to quickly change pads w/o gouging the hell out of the piston seals and caliper body.

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

They have arrived - Those who ordered, they are shipped & I have 6 in stock!

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Sure makes it easier and certainly greatly reduces the damage caused by the usual prying, wedging, clamping junk you would normally need to do - An Evo guy posted the Giro tool in use: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9BDuUTSrM0
