Must have tool for brake jobs!
This tool is a MUST HAVE if you are doing your own brake jobs! It makes pushing back the caliper piston super easy. If you have two caliper pistons on each of your wheels, simply use one of the old brake pads to insert between this spreader and the caliper pistons. Then simply move this spreader between each piston as you rotate the screw slowly and push back each piston. I've used this tool on four different cars doing brake jobs! Highly recommend!

Perfect for pushing back brake pistons! I know c-clamps are useful too but this tool is less bulky and makes it easier than dealing with a twisty c-clamp or pliers.

Its only useful for the front calipers on a 2007 mazda 3 hatch back 2.3L - manual. This doesnt work for the rear calipers as those need to be twisted as you are pushing them.
Even a Caveman Can Use It.

Press the caliper back in till its flush flat and extract the old brake fluid out of the reservoir as it fills up. Pressing the calipers will raise the fluid up, so extract it out and put new fluid when done.
