Hydraulic Press For Brake Pads

If you need to replace brake pads or align them on your hydraulic disc brake, Park Tool PP-1.2 Hydraulic press is the tool of choice. This wedge-shaped tool compresses pistons for faster service and pad replacement times.

This large 13-foot (157") machine utilizes industrial Vickers/Eaton(r) and Nachi(r) parts for reliable operation. It includes a torque tube connecting the two hydraulic cylinders.

Brake Pad Compressor

An air brake system utilizes compressed air from an engine-driven compressor to produce a powerful braking effect. This air is then stored in a reservoir (sometimes referred to as a wet tank) and distributed throughout the brake circuit.

Controlling air flow in the brake system requires a series of valves. These determine how much air goes where, what the maximum application pressure is and whether to let any air out of the system.

For systems with pressure regulators, the air supply may be routed to a single chamber air dryer. Here, compressed air is dried using an advanced granulate and an integrated pressure regulator maintains system pressure at a pre-set value.

The system is additionally equipped with a condensate sensor, drain valves, and safety valves to guarantee that the air in the system remains dry. Water or oil accumulation could lead to premature failure of components like an air dryer and other elements if left unchecked.

Brake Pad Removal Tool

When you press the brake pedal, a hydraulic press transfers force from your pushrod and slack adjuster to the brake pad or drum. This presses them against each other and helps stop your car in case of an emergency.

To replace brake pads, you'll need some tools. A brake pad spreader or large c-clamp can make this task simpler.

A Brake Pad Removal Tool is used to push the piston back into a caliper so new brake pads can be properly seated against it. This ensures an ideal fit and protects either the caliper or piston from damage.

To use the Brake Pad Removal Tool, slide its plate into where your outer brake pad attaches to the caliper and line up its retracted screw with where the piston is behind it. Doing this will push the piston into your caliper so that your pad is flush with it.

Brake Pad Installation Tool

Brake pads and rotors work by transferring hydraulic pressure from the brake system to their surfaces. This force pushes the pad against the rotor, gradually bringing your car to a stop.

Maintaining good brake pads is essential for stopping your vehicle safely and quickly. If you find that your current pads are old and worn, it may be time to replace them.

You can replace your brake pads and rotors yourself, but it's essential that you have the appropriate tools. These include tools for bleeding the system, replacing the brake caliper, and installing new brake pads.

The Park Tool PP-1.2 Hydraulic Press is perfect for disc brake calipers from SRAM, Shimano and other brands on mountain bikes and road bikes. It increases space between pads to make installation and maintenance of disc brakes much simpler.

Brake Pad Replacement Tool

When you press on your brake pedal, brake pads are applied to both inner and outer surfaces of your brake rotors with intense pressure. This creates friction and causes tires to slow down rapidly, helping avoid accidents and improving safety.

After thousands of miles, brake pad friction material wears away and needs replacing; however, replacing brake pads is a simple DIY project if you have all necessary tools.

This Brake Pad Replacement Tool helps you exert force on the brake piston in your brake caliper and push it back into its bore, ready for installation of new pads and rotors. It's essential that you apply sufficient force evenly across the surface of the piston so that it slides into its bore with ease.
