Guys - I cannot remember which brake caliper I have - Bendix or ATE. The keeper is a spring like coat hanger and not the flat metal keeper. So is this Bendix or ATE?

Thanks.

Sounds like a Bendix.

Don't forget to grease the screw and threads on the spring compressor.

Wire sounds like Bendix. The caliper should have the make embossed on it somewhere, it may be obscured by rust or brake dust, usually on the piston bump.
