Why Use The Correct Brake Tool?

Protect Brake Components

Brake pistons, seals, calipers, brake shoe springs and rubber components can be damaged by improvised tools. Correct brake tools support safer servicing and help avoid unnecessary component damage.

Support Workshop Efficiency

Purpose-made tools help technicians complete brake servicing tasks more consistently. Piston return tools, adjuster tools and bleeder bottles can reduce unnecessary effort during common workshop procedures.

Improve Brake Service Confidence

Brake servicing must be handled with care. Testing brake fluid, bleeding hydraulic systems and fitting brake components correctly all contribute to dependable braking performance after service.

ATE Brand Support

ATE brake tools complement the broader ATE braking range, supporting workshops, parts retailers and professionals who work with brake pads, discs, brake shoes, calipers and hydraulic systems.

Do not use tyre levers or large screwdrivers as this can cause damage to the pistons, caliper or rubber components.

21pc Handbrake Caliper Piston Return Device

The 21pc Handbrake Caliper Piston Return Device (CALTOOL01)
returns the pistons in mechanical hydraulic handbrake calipers.

Benefits:

  • It makes changing of handbrake pads quick and effortless by applying pressure to the piston to engage the internal clutch during operation.
  • The 21 piece set includes left and right hand thread options and fittings to suit most modern handbrake calipers.
  • It works on most vehicle makes and models.

Notes:

The device can be used on standard calipers too.
Do not use tyre levers or large screwdrivers as this can cause damage to the pistons, caliper or rubber components.

8pc Brake Shoe Spring and Adjuster Tool

The 8pc Brake Shoe Spring and Adjuster Tool (BSSTOOL01)
has the pliers and tools needed for easily removing, replacing and adjusting brake shoes.

Benefits:

Do not use side cutters or large screwdrivers as this can cause damage to the brake shoe springs and assembly.

Brake Fluid Tester

The Brake Fluid Tester (BFTTOOL01)
quickly and easily determines the moisture content of brake fluid.

Benefits:

  • Brake fluid can be tested to ensure that the brake fluid is still in working order.
  • Results can be shown to the customer.
  • It tests DOT3 and DOT4 brake fluids.

Notes:

Most vehicle manufacturers recommend brake fluid replacement on annual services.
Contaminated brake fluid can affect the functioning of ABS and EBD systems as well as compromise the brake balance.

Brake Fluid Bleeder Bottle

The Brake Fluid Bleeder Bottle (BBBTOOL01)
helps make bleeding and replacing brake fluid cleaner and more controlled.

Benefits:

  • Supports brake fluid bleeding and replacement during service.
  • Helps keep the bleeding process cleaner and more controlled.
  • Useful when servicing hydraulic brake systems.

Notes:

Always use the correct brake fluid specification and follow the vehicle manufacturer's bleeding procedure.
Brake fluid should be handled carefully because it can damage painted surfaces.

ATE Plastilube 75ml

ATE Plastilube lubricates and provides protection against corrosion for the
guide surfaces of brake calipers and brake pads.
To prevent squealing, ATE Plastilube is applied to the backing plates of the brake pads.

Benefits:

  • Free from metal soaps and fatty acids, so it is not corrosive,
  • Long-lasting, hence reduced maintenance frequency,
  • Insoluble in water and outstanding resistance to leaching,
  • Versatile, as it is compatible with all metals and most O-ring materials.
