The Lang Tools Small Brake Caliper Press (277) is an essential hand tool for anyone performing brake maintenance on subcompact to mid-size vehicles. Expertly engineered in the U.S.A., this specialized tool is designed to safely and efficiently retract single-piston brake calipers, a crucial step when replacing worn brake pads. Its robust construction and intelligent design ensure a smooth and precise operation every time.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

• Designed for Single-Piston Calipers: Specifically engineered to work on the most common type of brake calipers found on subcompact to mid-size vehicles, ensuring broad compatibility.
• Optimal Size Range: Accommodates single-piston brake calipers with a diameter between 1 inch and 3 inches, covering a wide array of automotive applications.
• Efficient Acme Threaded Screw: Features a central Acme threaded screw for rapid piston retraction, providing both durability and ease of operation.
• Parallel Force Application: Applies pressure evenly across the piston face, preventing misalignment or damage and ensuring smooth, proper retraction.
• Made in the U.S.A.: Manufactured in the United States, reflecting a commitment to quality craftsmanship and reliable performance.

SPECIFICATIONS:

• Model Number: 277
• Caliper Type Compatibility: Single-Piston
• Piston Diameter Range: 1 inch to 3 inches
• Screw Type: Acme Threaded
• Country of Origin: U.S.A.
• Included in Package: One Lang Tools Small Brake Caliper Press (277)

HOW TO USE:

1. Prepare the Vehicle: Safely lift and support the vehicle using jack stands. Remove the wheel to access the brake caliper.
2. Access the Caliper: If necessary, remove the caliper mounting bolts and carefully detach the caliper from the rotor, allowing it to hang freely or rest on a suitable support (do not let it hang by the brake hose).
3. Position the Tool: Place the Lang Tools Small Brake Caliper Press (277) over the brake piston. Ensure the two arms of the tool are positioned against the piston face and the opposite side of the caliper housing (or an old brake pad if still present).
4. Retract the Piston: Turn the centrally located Acme threaded screw clockwise. As you turn the screw, the arms of the tool will expand, gradually pushing the brake piston back into its bore. Continue turning until the piston is fully retracted.
5. Remove the Tool: Once the piston is fully retracted, turn the screw counter-clockwise to relieve tension and remove the tool from the caliper.
6. Complete Brake Service: Install new brake pads and reassemble the brake system according to vehicle manufacturer specifications.
