That has to be one of the neatest looking tools out there for a vehicle. Seems like some other tools could use this idea and have multiple sides to service different vehicles.

@richardlewis7808 7 месяцев назад

looks like the caliper could do with a new brake seal and a good inspection at the same time, tool looks handy for resetting the rear integrated parking brakes.

@TutorialGenius 7 месяцев назад

I hope you got something useful from the video at least! Side note: it was bought for next to nothing and everything has been fixed already

@grahametaylor6843 Год назад

For completeness it would have been worthwhile stating that if the rubber boot is perished or torn as in this video it should be replaced to avoid corrosion and dirt ingress problems.

@TutorialGenius Год назад

Yes of course! This is a junker for making videos

@jmburk55 Год назад

I've always wondered how this was used. I've been doing brakes for 30 years and have never seen a caliper like this.

@TutorialGenius Год назад

That's interesting to hear! I hope the video helped and that you consider subscribing to our channel :) Where do you live? This is quite common on smaller European cars

@ninevoltromeo Год назад

Also a good idea to pop the master cylinder cover off to ease the pressure off the brake system, making it easier to turn the piston back in. Just keep some paper towels around the master (it could get messy), and remember to top off your fluids when done.

@TutorialGenius Год назад

The overflow for the master cylinder, yes of course! I didn't want to bloat the video out too much, but yes, typically the service manual calls for it. But not only that, it's a good idea to flush the brake fluid beforehand also, especially if you dont know the cars history. All the nasty brake fluid lives right by the caliper, so you'll be pushing it back into the system... I say flush, because clamping brake hoses and bleeding is bad medicine! haha

@chrishayes5755 4 месяца назад

you can also weld rods onto an old socket like I did to make a tool

@TutorialGenius 4 месяца назад

Yeah! That actually works great, I have a bag of welded sockets and various make-shift bits for various jobs! Can't beat a bit of ingenuity sometimes!

@stangeric1 6 месяцев назад

Had one for the longest time and just now though of asking the Internet. 😅

@scuba6936 3 месяца назад

Are both side brake normal threads for rewinding in or is the a left hand thread on the opposite brake caliper

@TutorialGenius 3 месяца назад

It'll no doubt back-out in the same direction :)

Doesn’t work on VW Caddy Mk3. I bought one and tried it but the little tabs aren’t far apart enough to seat properly. Ended up buying the full kit with various adapters.

@TutorialGenius 8 месяцев назад

Sometimes that's the way I'm afraid! It's not a wonder tool, but it usually works on over 90% of cases!

@ballhawk387 9 месяцев назад

What to do if it's stuck and won't rotate straight away?

@TutorialGenius 9 месяцев назад

Did the brakes heat up a lot (reason for replacement)? Is it rusty over there? is the piston all the way out? Depending on that, it could be a number of things, but the common denominator being stuck in some way

@ballhawk387 9 месяцев назад

@@TutorialGenius Piston was pretty far out, and may have heated up a bit much due to the condition of one of the pads. Turned out to not be so difficult with a proper spreader tool the parts place loaned out. A bit tough to get started, but not so bad once it got going, especially If I alternately screwed it in and backed it out a bit. But the cube tool was impossible, at least by myself.

@TutorialGenius 9 месяцев назад

That's great! Glad it got sorted! The cube tool was impossible on my Mustang (2003) too, so you're not alone! It's not a wonder tool, but it works 90% of the time!@@ballhawk387

@rcarioca 11 месяцев назад

I tried the cube on my honda civic but it keeps slipping when I try to apply any torque

@TutorialGenius 11 месяцев назад

Try a different pattern

@rcarioca 11 месяцев назад

did not work. The cross channels were not very deep. So I used a 0.3 cm bar with a flat edge as a screw driver. Tapered pry bars did not work.@@TutorialGenius

@TutorialGenius 10 месяцев назад

@rcarioca 10 месяцев назад

@@TutorialGenius it was easier than I thought. I saw them use crowbars.but if the edge is too tapered, it will slip

@garyfox8701 2 месяца назад

I'm in the same boat but my piston is so far out that the cube doesn't fit in the gap let alone rotate.

@bruceaugustine6486 Год назад

That caliper needs a rebuild kit, the rubber boot is all torn around the edges.

@davidstepeck2644 Год назад

This video did help me. It helped me by not purchasing this tool; I’ll stick with my C-clamp. Thanks!

@TutorialGenius Год назад

A c-clamp would damage the threading. It needs to be rotated in. Please do NOT work on brake systems

@roymitchell4953 Год назад

I tried the c-clamp method and it doesn't work on 2012 Dodge Journey rear brake caliper pistons. Each brake caliper pistons has internal threads that fit on a threaded shaft in the caliper body. The threads look like a type of small jack screw or automatic garage door opener threads. This is the first set of disc brakes like this that I have worked on in years of DIY car repair on friends, family & my own vehicles. I have owned about 12 autos (US & Foreign) over the last 50 years. Now I remember, why I usually limit myself to working on older model cars. My cube tool just came today & brake caliper piston repair kits will be in this weekend. Most auto parts stores don't stock them. Selling $6-8/ea. repair kits vs $100-150 & up/ea. for new & rebuilt calipers. It makes more dollar & sense to the parts stores to sell new & rebuilt calipers. I have only needed to rebuild a few brake calipers over the years due to torn boots & frozen brake pistons.

@kpcart 11 месяцев назад

Ok, if you want to destroy your caliper. C clamp doesnt work on tgese turning pistons

@jayarmstrong3848 Год назад

After decades of doing brakes I finally see what this tool is used for. What a crappy design, it seems like it would just spin unless it’s threaded? I have always popped off the reservoir lid and used a C clamp to compress the piston.

@michaelknoblauch861 Год назад

How do u do that? Mine doesn’t turn and there’s not enough space for the pads and rotor

@garyfox8701 2 месяца назад

"It's as easy as that". Who's holding the brake caliper while your trying to keep the cube flat to the caliper and rotating your ratchet with all your might? It's not easy.

@TutorialGenius 2 месяца назад

Why do you need a person to hold a caliper? Just use a box
