## Questions & Answers

**Q: Wil it work on 4 piston porsche calipers?**
A: It is not wide  enough to lay across all pistons.  I use old pads to lay across and then use this to push pistons back in.  It won't work on my Front GT3 pistons without laying old pads in to evenly distribute the pressure.  If you have old pads it works great and price is good.    it also works on all my other cars no problem

**Q: I have two workpieces (not brakes) that are about 2.3 inches apart that I need to spread with 20-30 lbs of force. Would these work?**
A: Size wise yes.  I don't see anything that would fail under that level of force but the ratcheting mechanism may be the limiting factor..

**Q: Can i use this on my utv?**
A: Yes as long as the caliper has a width of 1.5 inches or greater.

**Q: Will this work with a Toyota car rear single piston caliper?**
A: I doubt it. Most years require a tool that turns while compressing. Can find a rear brake tool which works on most vehicles for 20-30 on Amazon. This thing is awesome for fronts tho
