This worked very well with the grease gun method, first time I had tried it. It was Bryanj’s post previous that recommended doing it this way. Last time I used compressed air and a rag wrapped around Caliper which also worked, not quite as safe.

Ooh, that caliper looks horrible! â˜¹ï¸ Well done for getting the piston out.
What's the bore look like?

Nice idea Ted! As long as it supports both pillars at the same time. 👍

Ah a slight flaw in my thinking there. :(

Bore was not too bad Gareth and the piston hardly had a mark on it surprisingly. Good clean and a new seal and good to go.
