* C-clamp style: A simple and affordable option, but can be awkward to use on some calipers. It requires careful positioning to avoid damaging the caliper.
* Screw-type compressor: These offer more precise control and better reach than C-clamps, making them easier to use in tight spaces.
* Specialty caliper piston compression tools: These tools are specifically designed to fit various caliper types and often have features to prevent damage to the piston's rubber boot or seals. This is the safest and often preferred option.
Important Note: Avoid using anything that could damage the piston or its seals, such as pliers or screwdrivers. A dedicated tool is crucial for a safe and effective repair. The specific design of your Mustang's caliper might influence which type of tool works best. If you are unsure, researching the specific type of caliper on your 1995 Mustang before purchasing a tool is recommended.
