New brake piston readjusting tool from HAZET

When carrying out maintenance work on the brake, it is often necessary to reset the brake piston mechanically. To prevent damage caused by the piston jamming, HAZET has developed a new brake piston readjusting tool (HAZET No. 4971-4) for single-piston and multi-piston disc brake callipers – naturally ‘Made in Germany’.

Both floating and fixed calipers can be reset with this tool without damaging the boots or pistons. This useful tool from the Remscheid-based manufacturer of quality tools is suitable in its standard configuration for 1-, 2- and 4-piston brake callipers and, with the aid of the magnetic brake piston readjusting tool adapter plates (4971-3/2) to be used on 6-piston brake callipers as well. This makes the 4971-4 brake piston readjusting tool a universal tool for all common vehicle types without an integrated handbrake locking mechanism.

Further information is available in the current HAZET ‘Special worldwide 2024/25’ promotional brochure, online at www.hazet.de or from an authorised specialist dealer.
