Is pretty much useless - it doesn't seem to have the force needed to push the pistons back in. On race calipers I'm pretty much doing the two screwdriver method like everyone else. Might not be pretty but it's fast and effective.
On stock front C5 and C6 calipers I use this one:
And it works great - but it will only work on the fronts (if anything just buy this one as you will be doing more front pad changed that rear).
I did buy this one for the rear and it also works great.
I just ordered one of these guys through my Snap-On dealer, it's a Lisle 29100, - $50 on amazon - you should be able to get the same thing through NAPA or another local auto parts chain. I'm hoping that it will work on StopTechs. I should have it early next week - but I won't be using it for a while so I can't give you direct feedback, but it looks like it fits the bill.
Yep! I have ST60s and ST40s, so I also need your fedback!
Thanks,
The first one (quad spreader) worked for me on APs. Just use an old backing plate to ensure you are getting enough leverage as it is at the end of its travel.
Loosening the bleeder and draining the fluid (which you typically don't want anyway) into a bleeder bottle speeds things up.
I have the same unit as 96Collector and it works fine with the AP T1 kit. You do have to use a set of backing plates to push them completely back but they have not failed me yet
