Toledo Brake Spring Compressor

The Toledo 310256 Brake Spring Compressor is a specialised service tool designed to simplify the removal and installation of brake shoe retaining springs on drum brake systems. Working on drum brakes often involves contending with high-tension springs and small retaining washers, which can be difficult and dangerous to manipulate without the correct equipment. This tool is engineered to securely engage with the retaining washer, allowing for safe compression and rotation to release or lock the spring in place.

Featuring a bevelled cup design, it is compatible with a wide range of retaining spring sizes and is specifically notched to accommodate washers with ear tabs. The tool is capable of handling washers ranging from 8mm to 24mm, making it versatile enough for various vehicle makes and models. To ensure user comfort and control during operation, it is fitted with a durable moulded plastic handle and a knurled outer cone grip, providing the necessary leverage and non-slip surface required for precise work in the often greasy environment of wheel hubs.
