How to make a simple tool to remove stuck caliper pistons

(1/5) > >>

Trigger:
I have never had any problem in removing stuck piston in the brake caliper and have always got them out by turning the compressor up to 300 PSI but, today i was sorting out some calipers that have been in the bottom of a box for years. They would not budge with the air line so, i set too making a tool from old bits that were laying around.

1) you need is a old brake pipe.
2) a hacksaw
3) grease nipple
4) a tap
5) a old copper washer

Trigger:
Cut the old fitting off the pipe

Tap the fitting out to take a grease nipple.

I had to use a copper washer as, the angled nipple was not facing out.

Trigger:
Lock the bleed nipple off and attach a grease gun to the grease nipple and the piston was forced out.

Very simple tool  ;)
