A while back I read about a tool that would force the brake caliper open so the pads would be easy to change. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I did a search but most hits seemed oriented to rear brake calipers. I will be switching my Stoptech fronts back and forth between Axis (street) and Pagid Orange (track). I will be leaving the rears with Axis.

Thanks,
Andy

There are a few different ways to push the caliper
pistons back into the bore. A pad spreader is one
of the easier ways. See the link.<ul><li><a href="http://www.ontool.com/store/product/1054-3258">http://www.ontool.com/store/product/1054-3258</a</li></ul>

....it won't do a thing with the rear brakes. The rear brakes have to be twisted back in so they require a different tool.

Also, you could just use those EZ-lock clamps for the fronts. That's what I use, plus I can use them on everything else around the house.

...for the rears, I purchased one from Harbor
Freight Tools on-line. It also works great.
