A handy tool for pad change

If your car comes with Brembo calipers and track often I believe you are aware of how awkward it can be when it comes to changing your brake pads by removing the pin out and put it back after the pad is replaced.

We are introducing a new handy tool to end your frustration, so you can change your brake pads quickly w/o damaging your calipers. The following pictures should be self-explanatory.

Punch in:

These pictures are taken on the bench, you will appreciate its convenience even more when you replace the pads in a caliper attached to the spindle/upright.

This tool will make your switching/replacing the pad easy with more confidence w/o struggling to remove the pin, so you would always use the right pad with proper compound between track and street.

That's a pretty simple convenient tool. Love stuff like that. My punch didn't fit perfectly, and then I had to use a socket on the other end to bang it back in. You guys are always thinking about ways to make our lives easier, good stuff.

That's a really nice neat tool!
It would be nice to maybe make the ends with a abs plastic high impact to prevent scratches ( but I'm picky like that ) lol

I had an E63 over the weekend with a seized bridge bolt, any tools/tricks that you are aware of to remove them?

use a punch like the one shown or similar, carefully insert it into the threaded hole on the other end of the bridge bolt and tap the punch with a hammer. Should pop the bridge bolt right out.

Normally I'll put a small punch in just as you recommended, being careful not to come near the threads and it will pop out. This one may need persuasion from an air hammer.

Looks like a fantastic tool. Had to cancel my order when found out it was going to cost 200% extra for shipping to Australia. You guys in the US are so lucky you don't have to pay shipping.
