1. A disc brake piston retraction tool with a backing plate expansion structure, comprising:
a reversible ratchet wrench that can be pulled and operated back and forth for a force output end of the reversible ratchet wrench to be selectively switched, so as to drive a pair of pressure plates to expand away from each other or retract toward each other; the pressure plates each having at least two coupling holes; a plate expansion unit being coupled to an outer surface of each of the pressure plates via the coupling holes; the plate expansion unit including a pair of backing plates, each of the backing plates having a width in a left-to-right direction greater than that of a corresponding pressure plate of the pair of pressure plates, each of the backing plates further having at least two fixing holes corresponding to the coupling holes of the corresponding pressure plates, a locking device being fixedly connected to each of the at least two fixing holes; the locking device including:
a plug including a plug body, one end of the plug body having a fixing post that is coupled and fixed to a corresponding one of the fixing holes, a surface of the plug body being radially formed with a receiving hole;
a compression spring installed in the receiving hole; and
a steel ball being in contact with one end of the compression spring and installed in the receiving hole, the steel ball being biased by the compression spring; and
a sleeve being tightly fitted and fixed on the surface of the plug body, the sleeve having a restricting hole that is slightly smaller in diameter than the receiving hole so that part of the steel ball extends out of the restricting hole.
