How to use a Caliper Wind Back Kit

Brilliant video! Just purchased the same kit to do the rear pads on my Fiesta ST over here in the UK and your vid has made life so much easier thank you for posting it.

Perfect video now I know how to use my caliper rewind tool set

Thanks so much for this fella. Saved my bacon this afternoon. Haven’t changed pads for a while and couldn’t work out where I was going wrong with my kit. Your video showed me the problem and then it was plain sailing. 😊

You have answered all my doubts in one video. You are really knowledgeable. Salute to you. Subscribed and Liked very much.

Great video with excellent narrative. I just bought this tool at Amazon for $19. I don't need to do any brake jobs but remember last time without the tool, it was a bugger. I did the front brakes on my 2002 SAAB 9-5 at 77K miles and now have 172K miles on those same pads. Still around 50%. I bought Akebono pads back then and hated them. Yet years later, still have them on. I had Pagid Pads before and the SAAB stopped on a dime but ate the rotors. With the Akebono's, no dusting or rotor wear but doesn't stop like it should. Now I have this tool and will put on some aggressive pads on the SAAB again.

Thanks heaps mate. Good clear info/explanation and demonstration.

Thanks heaps for this- saved me heaps of $ doing it myself using this set, which I brought at a garage sale for $5 and was told they were for changing brake pads etc. so glad I purchased it. Also got this other set for removing hose clamps of different types

I recommend changing the speed to 1.5 for this slow talker. Great info though, more thorough than most. You actually made a pretty good case for the dice tool and the needle nose pliers! If this is a job that you're only doing once in a blue moon, one of those methods should cover it. Thanks.

THANK YOU! I was just about to chuck this tool in a lake. I was convinced I had to use the LH tool for the left side. Not on a 2007 Jaguar S-Type....RH tool worked like a charm. Thanks again for that crucial detail! SUBSCRIBED.

Thanks just received that kit! And your video really teached me how to use it! Once again thank you!

Great video, a great help. Thank you!

Thanks so much for a great explanation...really liked the demo on the wrong tool as well .

Thank you for showing how to actually using this kit!

I bought this very tool for a brake job on my 2015 Fiat 500L (in the blue case) and it worked like a charm! Used same winder on left and right sides, used a thumb wrench to hold the adjustment sleeve as someone else suggested. Just check every so often that the rubber isn't getting mangled!

Thank you so much for making this video!

Best instructions ! Thank you .

Nicely done. Thank you.

Thank you for a beautiful, straightforward video with no performance garbage. Most (nearly all) people doing these clips do a mediocre-to-woeful job. Many are in love with their own imagined presentation skills, resulting in appalling, drawn-out, garbled, low-content crap. Great to hear your advice on aspects of calipers that others don't know or care about! 👍 I subscribed, of course. Some thoughts on the wind back kit... Firstly, it's vastly superior to other methods. My car is approaching classic status; if I heave at it with pliers and screwdrivers, and tear a rubber boot or do other damage, I'll heartily regret it. So I invested in the kit, and I can say it's well worth it. My calipers are installed with no hose to spare; I can't blame Honda, they were running low on brake line hose that day. So my calipers are very awkward to handle once they're off the bracket, which is not easy to achieve to start with. With the wind back kit, what I found is that even with a very stiff piston, the tool handle is wide enough to generate sufficient torque using only one hand, leaving my other hand free to continually take up the slack on the adjusting collar. It's actually quite easy to keep them both turning together, rather than advance the screw, and then stop to tighten the collar. Thanks again, Richard!

Great Demo.... thank you

Great video, thanks
