Help! Anyone in kamloops bc

[Chantastic]

Hey guys,

My bro was on his way to vancouver today and broke down in kamloops. Is anyone on here from there? His brake caliper slid off and now the pads are to far in to fit back on rotor on the rotor. Thankfully he found the bolt that came loose, but he doesn't have whatever that tool is to get the pads separated far enough to slide the caliper back on. He is on Curlew road, and all places like Canadian tire are closed for the night. Is anyone here from kamloops and is willing to give him a hand?

Thanks so much. If you are available, PM me and I will give him his cell number

We used a C-Clamp from Canadian Tire. Crazy that that happened though!

All the can tires are closed right now, good thing walmart is open till 10! Hopefully he can find what he needs

edit: just texted him and he says the caliper is a funky shape and a C clamp won't work

He's back on the road! Thanks for the input and big thanks to rage2 for going out of his way to try and help!

Flip the pad over (so you don't damage it) and use a hammer to pound it open.

edit: too late
