Hope Bore Cap Tool

This tool is designed to work with Hope's Mono, X2, E4, V4, and RX4 caliper models. It is also compatible with certain Shimano hydraulic systems.

Bore caps are often made from softer materials and can be easily marred or stripped by standard pliers. This tool provides a precise, flush interface that distributes force evenly, preventing damage to the cap and the caliper body.

No, you do not need this tool for a standard brake bleed. It is specifically intended for deeper maintenance tasks where you need to remove the bore caps to access internal seals or pistons.

Yes, this is a socket-style tool. You will need to use a standard wrench or a socket driver that fits the tool's interface to provide the necessary leverage for removal and installation.

It is primarily engineered for Hope calipers, though it is compatible with specific Shimano systems as noted in the specifications. We do not recommend using it on other brands unless explicitly confirmed, as the fitment tolerances are very tight.
