Abstract:
A pneumatically operated disc brake piston installer comprising:A) a first plate positionable within a disc brake caliper housing in contact with an outer edge of an extended disc brake piston;B) a second plate in alignment with and spaced apart from the first plate and positionable against an inside surface of an outer shoe bracket of said disc brake caliper housing;C) a piston shaft attached to said first plate at a central point thereof and extending perpendicularly therefrom passing slidably through an opening in said second plate into a surrounding cylinder attached to said second plate; said piston shaft being controllably moveable in an axial direction in response to pneumatic pressure within said cylinder;D) a source of pneumatic pressure adapted for controllably moving said piston shaft out of said cylinder and pushing said first plate in a direction away from said second plate.
