Do instructions come with the set? If not, how do you properly use it? Does it work with dual pistons?

Dual piston calipers do not need to wind back, but you need to compress both pistons simultaneously. If the caliper has clearance for the shaft of the tool, then you can leave the old brake pad in the back against the pistons, and yes this tool would press them in. Not all dual piston calipers will have clearance for the main body of the tool, in which case a tool like Lisle 29100 Quick Quad Pad Spreader will probably be a better choice.

it does not come with instructions, its easy to use. it only works on single caliper pistons that you have to wind back,, to properly use this tool you need to determine which way you turn the piston to move it back wards, this kit comes with both left and right hand tools, match the pins on the disks with the notches in the caliper piston and wind the tool ... again it does not work on dual piston calipers. for that you need a different tool

Mine did not include instructions. To use it on a screw in piston you need to know if the piston has left or right hand threads then pick the left or right thread driver. Pick the adapter that best engages the depressions on the end of the piston. Slide the backing plate over the back of the driver and hold the adapter on the front of the driver and insert into caliper. Turn the screw until the piston is engaged. Since the thread of the driver is finer than the thread of the piston you will need to take up the slack as you go. Continue to turn the screw as the piston is retracted. Usually once the piston starts to retract you will not need pressure from the driver to complete the process. Stop turning when the piston is fully retracted and the depressions in the piston line up with the tabs on the back of the brake pad. Do not reverse direction of turn to align. I am not aware of any multi-piston caliper that have an integrated parking brake. The tool can be used as an alternative to using a c-clamp by using the smooth adapter to push against an old brake pad to seat single or multiple non-threaded pistons.

Chris I see the responses you got from the other guys they are all correct. If you need help to see how the kit works there several decent YouTube videos out there too. For headbolts I would recommend finding a machine shop to help out. I had a problem headbolts on an aluminum block I was able to find engine shop to cut new threads for me.

I, too, needed a set of instructions. I FINALLY found them here: http://www.factsfacts.com/misc/Schwinn_17-Function_Bike_Computer.htm

I hooked it up to my 5600BHS just like the instructions said. It works perfect. I think the people who leave bad reviews cant read directions. ; )

I looked at the parts breakdown for your compressor, and it looks like the piston rod is completely different, and the cylinder looks a lot different too. Sorry, Sir, I believe you will need to buy the kit mentioned (E100291 - but was substituted to E103495 ). It is apparently readily available from several places on the Internet. You can do a search for either kit number. The installation is a simple thing to do.

Sorry thought you were asking for the manual so thought you needed to put the thing together....my bad. Glad you figured it out. Returned mine since the hydraulic oil was leaking.

Did you install them correctly? Is the piston rod on top? Make sure...maybe the barrel end is rubbing on the car body.

The piston should have the removable top cap. This is the only way that you can install the ring. The ring is not metal. Along with the piston usually comes the ring and new cylinder, "o" rings, rod and sealed bearing all together as a kit. Hope this is some help, Gary

Yes, But...........If you are careful you will not. It is very easy to do,if you are mechanically inclined.Why are you doing it with the piston at top dead center.?????

My husband doesn't use the combination, so I can't answer the question. However, user 'triumphgal' may have them based on their review. I've emailed them and asked them to post the instructions. I hope that helps!

Buenas noches Delkis R. El kit de la cadena del tiempo que compré es para una camioneta Grand Vitara 2004 XL5 Automática 4x4 de motor 2.5 con pistones en V, y he hablado con el mecánico que la está arreglando el cual me dijo que no es para motor 2.0 el cual tiene los pistones en línea.De todas maneras consulte las imágenes en Google en la cual salen fotografiadas.

I went to Youtube and found instructions, not for this brand, but general instructions for putting drums together and I was able to put it all together. My set came with instructions but they were not helpful to me. I had never put drums together before and was able to do it.

That is correct. Google the video. It gives step by step instructions. Be gentle with the parts.

also, you can rotate the engine til the piston is down. feed a bunch of clothesline or rope in the spark plug hole, then rotate the piston up until the rope is pressed against the valves. you wont need an air compressor for this, and you cant lose the valves in the cylinder

Greg,My recollection was that you need to attach it first per the instructions. Then you can use the handle to raise or lower the backboard.The piston is similar to a shock on a car. It would be very hard to move it with just your hands.

Is there a lock on the shaft of the piston? The manufacturer might have put one on for shipping. I don't think that the one's I bought had them though. If you can't see any obvious issue/solution, return it.

I belive that they are tebuildable. The frame is heavy duty, that's what I like about this jack. My friend, who works for hydrolyc shop, told me that it shouldn'd be a problem to replace hydrolic piston even with a different model. So far I love this jack. But please take in consideration that is preaty heavy. I own Nissan Frontier and this 3 ton jack is more than enough to lift it. I could get away with 2 1/2 or even 2 ton jack.
