Yeah, well it's easier to keep pressure on the gun whereas on a bar you'd have the risk of slipping off the nut/bolt potentially rounding it.
Quite easily round stuff with the gun too though, that initial hit usually breaks it away before it has time to round though normally.
It'll ruin the spring inside, thus the calibration of the wrench will be made inaccurate.
Wouldn't be without mine now. So much faster than having to crack wheel bolts off by hand and then unwind each one.
I can have all 4 wheels off in 30 seconds.
Seized caliper i'd say.
If you wind the piston all the way back in and then pump the pedal and handbrake lever a few times, the piston should come back out.
We did that on my mates 182 the other day and the piston only came out a little bit before stopping, no matter how many pumps you gave it.
They do touch the caliper at the top, this tries to push the top out but the bit that hooks under the pad and the rest of the clip is under tension and is pushing back the opposite way.
Have you got pics of yours fitted?
Decent!
Just looked, the dephasers are £90 so worth changing for the price tbh.
You could do the oil and plugs change yourself to save a bit of money if needed.
