This compact ratcheting spreader from JOJOY LUX includes two small and two large steel plates so you can adapt to multiple piston arrangements and widths. Built with a swing ratchet and a cushioned lever, it aims to reduce hand strain while keeping the plates parallel to apply even pressure across the piston surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich brake setups can this tool handle?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tool works with many fixed and floating disc calipers where pistons must be pushed straight back (not rotated). Small plates suit single and twin floating calipers and many twin\/quad fixed calipers; the larger plates extend reach for some sextuplet fixed calipers. If your caliper is wider than the tool range, you can use old pads as spacers and still compress the pistons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSmall plates span ~1.5\"–2.5\" (twin\/quad\/single\/twin floating)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWith large plates attached: ~2.0\"–3.0\" (some sextuplet fixed calipers)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNot suitable for drum brake systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDesigned to push pistons straight back; not for pistons requiring rotation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the 360° swing ratchet save time and effort?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe central ratcheting head swings into position from any angle, so you don’t need awkward hand positions to engage the caliper.

It’s best suited for jobs that need a straight pushback of pistons—especially on twin, quad and certain sextuplet fixed calipers or single\/twin floating calipers—where protecting the piston face and saving time are priorities. If you need to rotate pistons or work on drum brakes, select a different tool designed for those tasks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Will this work on drum brakes?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: No. This JOJOY LUX tool is made for disc brake calipers and is not suitable for drum brake systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Can it rotate pistons that require turning?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: No. The spreader pushes pistons straight back; it does not twist pistons that need rotation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"JOJOY LUX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48087268491422,"sku":"B08LY4NCHG","price":36.42,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0781\/2041\/9486\/files\/jojoy-lux-front-view-tool-assembled.jpg?v=1785919723","url":"https:\/\/northtrailauto.ca\/products\/jojoy-lux-brake-caliper-press-tool-360-swing-ratchet-brake-pad-spreader-with-extra-large-plates-fits-single-sextuplet-pistons","provider":"North Trail Auto","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
