Description

This is a tool to help easily compress the brake caliper piston on my 2007 Nissan Titan. I had been using a wood block but it would slip around and pinch the piston boot. It sure is nice to be able to design and print a tool in 30 minutes rather than drive to the auto supply store :). It works perfectly. Here are a few tips from my mechanic friends.. Loosen the fluid fill cap and keep an eye on the fluid level, remove excess with a syringe. Compress the piston very slowly, keeps brake fluid from squirting out and allows piston boot to seat well.
