Lisle Tools Quad Pad Spreader
I'm about to do a brake job on the 1991 560SEL. My local parts store has this tool, the Lisle Tools Quad Pad Spreader
"The unique design of this brake piston compressor can compress all four pistons simultaneously on four piston calipers. This can also be accomplished with the caliper still mounted on the vehicle in most cases. Makes brake pad replacement quick and easy." Question: would this tool be beneficial in replacing the brake pads? |
looks like it would make it easier. I've been looking at tools like this. Instead of using a C clamp and only doing one piston at a time, this may work out better
|
Since the 560 has 2 piston calipers, I don't see it being much benefit. As a professional Mercedes mechanic, I've never had much difficulty retracting the pistons and have no special tool for the task.

Kinda looks like it would work on duals too... I mean if it fits in the opening..

I've been using this one for over a decade and it works great.

OK, my mistake, Lisle makes a dual piston pad spreader also. Lisle part number
25750LISLE I'm thinking this tool would be a good investment for brake jobs. the Samstag tool looks great, but at $221, a bit more than I'm willing to spend. |
I've been using the same C clamp and piece of plywood (to spread the load) for years !
