Does anyone know where I can get a caliper spreader that works with the 4 piston Boxster S brakes?

Thanks,
Sam

once you get the pads out, you can actually spread those out with your finger, and not even using much force believe it or not.

Yeah, I've done it twice now... but as often as I change pads, I'd like a faster, easier way.

k
i don't know man, it doesn't even take effort worth mentioning to move those, at least for me, put my finger in there and move them, put the pads in place...
but if you do find something, post it up, id like to see it.
thx

You must have some really strong fingers!

Never seen that style. I like tools. Take some pictures of it in action.

Here is one way I do it.
