Has anyone use this for caliper pins or brake jobs?

You don't want to use this for brake jobs. You want something that doesn't release oil at higher temperatures. Any auto parts store should carry brake caliper grease at a similar $8-13 pricepoint. It's much tackier and almost sticky. Just the right thing for something that isn't truly sealed. My caliper pins on my crown victoria are only sealed by a plug, of sorts. It's certainly not airtight or water tight. Thus the tacky caliper grease repels the water and stays in place well. Not to say you absolutely couldn't use it, but if there's any chance that the oil will seep and get onto the brake pads/rotors, you absolutely do not want to use this!

mine operated flawlessly. I would check that your calipers were are fastened correctly and that the pads are the correct size.

yes, there HAS to be 2 bosses to bolt the caliper to the fork. Not a universal part unless the fork has the molded bosses

I have not tried, because the other bits come with own bearings. Checking with Whiteside would provide a sure answer.

I have a crafstman on it now, but I am thinking to get a Dewalt, both will work just fine, specially with a 1/e " bit

yes its pretty clever its a rotating pin point so you get more pressure over a wider area But it will most likely break so keep your receipt Ive been thru three of them Karcher consumer stuff is pretty cheaply made but for the money they are ok for a year or so.

yeah, but you should test/calibrate it with some feeler gauges. I've used it on my drill press to align and square the table and work pieces with very good results. I'd recommend a dial caliper though which can be found for around the same price or a little more.

Used on Phillips, don't see why wouldn't work on others. Extracted 4 rusted brake rotor screws, worked like champ, highly recommend!

If you use the goal of the bore sight to get on paper, you would be fine. More accurate if you removed brake to bore sight. VERY happy with this tool!!

Yes, I've used it a few times. Mainly for smaller bearings and races. Worked fine each time.

This tool comes with metric dies.Either use metric rivets or get an SAE type tool.The answer is probably not.

No i use it for my Dodge 2500 daily with a lawn trailer with no brakes on it. Works like a dream on all trucks etc with this fitting. Much easier than crawling under truck to hook up to 4 pin connector. Works perfect with or without electric brakes.

Yeah, just be sure you do not push the pin all the way out. Check out a youtube video. There is several good ones that show how it is done.

I don't know if works for your purpose but it works to crimp 2.54mm pitch female/male pins for jumper connectors. This are the same used in servo motors.

I would guess no. Look for something with lower gage number pins. I don't think this would hold up.

Yes. I used it in all parts when reforming my front brakes and it works perfectly. Really great grease because it's compliant with rubber boots.

It is good for plastic bumpers. For metal I would recommend a stronger drill bit.
