Tokico Brake Piston Tool

Anyone use one of these? do they work in getting out the piston or is it better to use the more expensive kits?

I might take my calipers somewhere first and ask if they can get them out,i got two out but the rest are seized, zx6r

this is what im thinking

ive tried wedging the pistons and pumping the lever to try and pump out all 6 pistons but its too tricky and messy

 

[wazza300]

just been quoted £10 per caliper to get them out,seeing as ive got two out already I might try n knock him down to £15 for 11 stuck pistons

id buy the laser tool set but its £75 and I wouldn't use it often tbh

as if they couldn't drill and tap and put a bolt at the back of each piston? would make it a doddle to do

well I managed to get 6 of the 12 pistons out using a socket extension bar and wiggling them out,but the remaining ones I couldn't budge

and yeah ive got some red caliper grease im all redy to rebuild them once ive cleaned out the seal grooves which are full or crud

I might pick one of those tools up later one,ive dropped the calipers off at the bike place to get the last ones out

I have to get the seals the right way aswell as they are tapered,fattest part at the bottom


@Souleh does it get them out if they are pushed right in and stuck?

true the nissins are better but tbh this is the first time ive refurbed the calipers from new,now with 65k on the clock

the rear is a piece of cake to do,just waiting to get the bits back so I can spray them in matte black and build them up

 

[wazza300]

rebuilt and sprayed them matt black,just waiting on some dot4 fluid before I refit them

 

[wazza300]

You sprayed the sealing washers . Please tell me you plugged the holes before spraying them?

no theres no sealing washers on,thats the caliper,ive fitted them and bled them now,just need a new battery and maybe get the wheels powdercoated then im gonna ride it and flog my zx10r
