Hydraulic brake piston press

prusaprinters

<p>This is a simple tool used for the same purpose as the <a href="https://www.parktool.com/product/hydraulic-brake-piston-press-pp-1-2">Park Tool PP-1.2</a>.</p> <p>Sometimes you need to spread the pistons out on a hydraulic caliper to accept a disc rotor. Oftentimes the brake lever is accidentally pulled without a rotor in the caliper, &amp; the pistons won't retract after extension. In this case it's necessary to pry them apart.</p> <p>This tool replaces the ordinary slotted screwdriver many might use, at risk of gouging the brake pads.</p> <p>There are two ends. One is for pistons with pads installed, &amp; the other is just for pistons without pads (therefore a wider gap).</p> <p>I haven't used mine yet, nor do I have a PP-1.2 for reference, so I guessed many of the angles &amp; dimensions.</p> <p>It's designed to be simple &amp; easy to print. I didn't think the offset handle on the PP-1.2 was worthwhile or even useful.</p> <p>I only printed the rev 1 version. The files are for a rev 2 version that is untested.</p> Category: Tools
