Haynes and Climer books say you clamp one side (one piston) then use air to push out the other side.
I have a small compressor. I am assuming you closed both bleed valves and then apply air to where the hydrolic line comes in. When I do this I can not get the piston to come out. Do you have to get a threaded fitting and then apply air pressure? I was just pressing a "riggged tape tip nozzle" and most likely am not getting sufficient air pressure. Right side caplider brakes seems to be fine (move in and out easily when clamped) and I was just going to put a kit in because it is so old. The Haynes book says to not split the caliper unless you have to. The other front caliper seems to have a stuck piston because when clamping it it will not move. I am soaking in brake fluid and will see..... Any help here? |
