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 use a master cylinder/pedal assy setup to hydraulically push the pistons out. A bit messy sometimes, but I never had it fail, and there is little danger. Some people use compressed air, but I don't consider it particularly safe. If the pistons are not seized, then I might consider it; along with blocks, rags, and all manner of safety stuff. Just picked up 10 more to do.
