Can anyone recommend a brake rewind tool..I am led to believe there are different types...I need one asap to get the brakes done over the next weekend

Thanks
 
I got a laser tools one, have a look at http://www.lasertools.co.uk/tools.aspx?cat=518 but I aint sure which one you need I got mine to do my Civic rear pads when I had it. Halfords sell Laser Tools but I got mine through a local motor factors and they knew which one I needed.
 
I bought one from ebay, a complete kit with various attachments - I think it was about £50 which is not bad as you can cover most cars.
 
no thats no good simon its a left handed threaded one

for some strange reason some Mondeos (and some other cars no doubt) have one caliper that needs a right hand tool and one caliper that needs a left hand tool

right So i want a right threaded one :blush: ??

I really dont want to buy a set with 18pcs for example .....just one to do the job
 
I hate to give them free advertisement but the one in halfords (lasertool?) is the one you need.

Don't remember paying that for it though.
 
Agree I got the halfords one as well, does the job altho that price is more than I paid IIRC.

Agreed with Monks here. I got the Halfords lasertool around 2 years ago and has worked for every car I have needed to do. However I paid less than half of that two years ago.
 
Like I said earlier Laser Tools but from a local motor factors will be alot cheaper than Halfords.

I will scout around my local motor factors and see if I can find one.

Which way does it rewind clockwise/anti clockwise??

You rewind it to where it moves.
The brake should be off, of course, otherwise you wouldn't be able to remove the caliper/pads. ;)

Thanks.....I've done that but still cant get the caliper over the pads :(
I'm struggling quite a bit I fitted lots of brakes in the past but these are swines
 
Yes, it takes some effort and patience to fit the caliper. Did you opened the brake fluid cover?
