removing caliper pistons

mickwinf:
Thanks Bryan great idea. I have not got a working master cylinder to use except the one on the bike and did not want to disconnect just for this job.

Don’t think I’ll be the only one to have removed one with compressed air? Not really that clever but did the job. Did it wrapped in rags otherwise you will have a missile. Better and safer to use fluid or grease.

philward:
The hole in my garage window is testiment to the compressed air method! However, I have had pistons that would not shift with compressed air that I had to use a grease gun on, which shifted the piston.
