Indexed collar clamps allow for fast and easy adjustment of an associated telescoping stand, while preventing various underlying components from becoming dislodged from their respective positions over time. A telescoping stand may include an inner tube and an outer tube partially overlapping the inner tube. An overlapping end of the outer tube includes a compliance cut. A bushing is positioned between the inner tube and the outer tube and adjacent the compliance cut. The bushing includes a protrusion that indexes the bushing to an aperture in the outer tube. An indexed collar clamp is positioned over the outer tube and also adjacent the compliance cut. The protrusion from the bushing further indexes the bushing to a slot in the indexed collar clamp.

In order for hydraulic disk brakes to function properly over time, associated brake pads are changed periodically. In order to exchange old brake pads for replacement brake pads, a disk brake may require pushing back the brake pistons within a brake caliper body in order to make room for installation of replacement pads. Current tools and methods typically require removal of a wheel from a vehicle, removal of a brake rotor from the wheel, and/or removal of the brake caliper body from a rotor. The presently disclosed caliper piston tool allows brake pads to be replaced without dismantling various components of the vehicle, resulting in significant time and cost savings as well as convenience for do-it-yourself and professional mechanics alike.
