How to Choose Sealey Brake Caliper & Drum Tools

Brake service tools should be matched to the brake design and vehicle application. Identify whether the job involves piston rewind, spring removal, drum adjustment or another specific operation before choosing the tool.

1

Identify the brake design

Different calipers and drum systems can require very different service tools.

2

Check piston operation

Some pistons push back; others require a specific rewind direction or adaptor.

3

Protect brake components

Use tools designed for the job rather than improvised levers or grips.

4

Follow service information

Vehicle-specific procedures and electronic parking brakes may require extra steps.

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers before you choose

Can all brake caliper pistons simply be pushed back?

No. Some require rotation, a specific adaptor or an electronic parking-brake service procedure.

Do brake tools fit every vehicle?

Not always. Check the tool’s listed application or adaptor coverage against the vehicle being serviced.

Why use dedicated drum-brake tools?

They are designed to control springs, retainers and adjusters more safely and with less risk of component damage.
