    Is there a tool to pull out or spin caliper buckets for cleaning? I would think it would be out there,but no luck. Thanks!

    Me too, but I think he just wants this tool so that he turn the piston to expose the backside of each of them when scrubbing the crud off of them with a brush when cleaning.

    out of all the pads I change there is no way to clean them with air. These are for neglected street bikes and for me to perfect the gsxr brakes lol. I was told the key to gsxr brakes is cleaning and I needed a way to perfect it. this tool is tits!

    That doesn't make sense. We're talking about the removing pistons, right? I've always used compressed air and never had a problem.

    no to pull them out a little and SPIN them to get to the trapped brake crap that builds up in sides. For pad install I rarely am bleeding brakes all the way out. this is just to clean buckets properly on a pad change.
