Caliper winder - anyone used one on a bike caliper?

Anyone used the draper-type caliper winder successfully on a bike caliper? Not sure if it would be suitable, and dont fancy having a go with a G-clamp.

Or any better suggestions?

Hi

Used one. Just have to be careful that the pistons go in straight.

All the best

I use a big red screwdriver, whom I like to call 'Big red'.

He does the job every time.

unless the calipers have seized open, i find that they usually go in straight with a block of wood. (use non splinter)
