US 2015/0101162 A1 · Caliper Pin Removal Tool

Abstract

A tool facilitates removal of a caliper pin from a brake caliper. The pin removal tool includes a tool head, an opening, and a shaft. The opening is defined in the tool head by a first and a second portion of the tool head, and the opening extending inwardly from a side of the tool head and between a proximal surface and a distal surface. The opening is sized to receive a shaft portion of a caliper pin therein while allowing the distal surface to abut a head of the caliper pin. The shaft has a longitudinal axis which is not parallel to the distal surface, and the shaft includes a first end portion rigidly connected to the tool head and a second end portion having a striking interface. The striking is interface configured to receive an impact force and transmit the impact force along the longitudinal axis.
