I've got the rear calipers apart, but can't seem to find any information about rebuilding the front calipers. Does anyone know how to remove the pistons without damaging them?

I am probably going to be told I am crazy but mine were frozen from sitting for years So I cased them and soaked them in solvent then plugged all but one hole, wrapped a leather belt around it several times and used my air compressor with a rubber tip to blow them out. My neighbors thought is was a shotgun (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)
