The KD Tools 41520 15-Piece Brake Service Kit includes a variety of specialized tools for disc and drum brake systems. The Disc Brake Piston Tool can be used on most domestic and import vehicles to rotate the parking brake-activated piston back into the caliper cylinder. The GM-Ford Disc Brake Piston Tool is designed for vehicles with rear-wheel disc brakes, rotating the piston back on GM vehicles with 2-1/8 inch and 1-7/8 inch pistons, as well as Ford vehicles from 1987 to the present.

The Disc Brake Pad Spreader pushes the caliper piston back on disc brakes that do not have the parking brake mechanism as part of the disc brake caliper. The Heavy Duty Truck Brake Spring Tool provides access around the emergency brake lever without removal, allowing for the removal and installation of the brake retaining spring on medium-duty trucks.

The kit also includes a variety of sockets, including 7mm, 8mm, 10mm, 1/4 inch, and 3/8 inch hex sockets, as well as T40, T45, and T50 Torx® Sockets. The tools are packaged in a blow-molded case with laminated instruction cards or a sticker integrated into the case design for easy reference of application information. Individual part numbers are molded into the case for easy identification, and the removable hinge-style lid allows for convenient storage in tool box drawers.

This comprehensive brake service kit is designed to work on both disc and drum brake systems, making it a valuable tool for automotive technicians. The kit can be used to adjust the clearance between drum brakes and shoes, remove and install shoe return springs and brake pads, and the heavy-duty brake spreader can be used with either a 5/16-inch socket wrench or by hand. The included brake lining thickness gauge, color-coded to identify thickness levels, makes it easy to inspect brake linings.
