Brake Piston Spreader 1/2in Drive Pad Separator Tool

A brake piston spreader used when removing worn pads and fitting new ones, helping push the caliper piston back in a controlled and even way. It is suited to most ATE, Bendix, Delco and Girling calipers and gives a straightforward way to create the space needed for replacement brake pads.

Used for brake servicing on cars and light vehicle maintenance, this brake spreader is handy in the garage or workshop and for home mechanics carrying out pad changes. When working on vehicles from makes such as Alfa, Audi, Fiat, Ford, Nissan, Vauxhall, Opel, Peugeot, Porsche, Renault, Rover and VW, it helps with the common job of retracting the piston before the new pads are installed. It is a useful choice for routine servicing, DIY repairs and regular brake maintenance where a clean, steady action matters.

With an 87mm maximum spread, the compact tool is easy to handle and position at the caliper while still giving practical access in tighter working areas. It can be turned with a 1/2in drive ratchet or a 21mm spanner, which gives flexibility depending on the tools already in your box. Suitability for most ATE, Bendix, Delco and Girling calipers makes it a handy option for mixed-vehicle work and helps avoid reaching for improvised methods during brake jobs. For anyone carrying out repeat servicing, it is a sensible tool to keep close to hand.
