And also at http://www.toolmix.com/browse/produc...=269&pid=58312 in the UK for the same tool that Erkka found. VAT savings might offset shipping.

 

This looks sturdier than many other versions including "common" around globe Biltema offering.

 

Thanks, potsie and dr. bob.

Got this one-well worth the money, but be carefull when using the rachet with it, the hand twist will scrape the caliper when turning-guess how I know?

 

Where's Bigs when you need him? A speculum ought to do the job ...

 

I have a small ball peen hammer, and the handle works EXCELLENT in pushing pads back. It helps to crack the bleeder screw.

 

Sorry to hear that..... I actually use the rubber coated handle of a crescent wrench on the pads. No problems.

 

You have a PM

QUOTE=Vilhuer]Local Biltema is close to airport. It's only about two miles from the terminal. Runways are long white lines in upper left corner on map and terminals are right below them. Shop in at center of the map.



There is other store in Espoo some 16 miles west of center of Helsinki.

Rod, get in touch before you arrive and maybe we can set up something like take you shopping if schedules permit. They cost 13.90 euros, about $16-17. Just be warned. That tool is not only handy device they sell. You might have serious problems geting out of there without spending $$$.

If you can't make it, I'll go there every now and then anyway and can pick few for you and drop them off to your hotel for example. On geting them through Finnish and US customs you are on your own. [/QUOTE]

 

Princess Auto has a very nice catalog. Here's that part information. Not exactly like the one that Erkka showed in his picture, but close.

QTY CAT# DESCRIPTION PRICE
1 8031408 ***brake piston spreader*** $ 19.99

Page 255 of their catalog.

 

They don't appear to ship outside of Canada.

 

I live in the Toronto area, and will help to procure and ship via postal service.
Let me know.

 

I had a pair like the one Potsie pointed to on Amazon. Worked OK but tended to make a divot in the pads. OK for replacement, but maybe not if you're one to swap pads in & out.

 

I bought this at Machine Mart chain in UK. Looks identical to Erikka's. Haven't tried it yet but am amassing stuff for major discs/pads/bleed job soon.
