I have a '73 2.0 i'm parting out, and my rear calipers are uberfrozen to the newish rear rotors.
anyone have a good way to get the pistons to slide back through their original hard as hell rubber seals and unseat so they'll loosen up enough to remove the calipers? i've already loosened the e brake adjustment nut and of course loosened the bleeders! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) thanx a lot 914 addict soon enough to buy another one...w/o factory rust for a mutant V8 mod.... after I turbocharge/intercool/big brake etc my just bought $500 88 jetta Gli w/ factory recaros etc...

I would think once you have removed the brake line and removed the 2 bolts that hold the caliper on you should be able to take a piece of wood or a metal drift and push/hammer the caliper off of the rotor. You would place the wood/drift under the caliper and try to slide if off the rotor does that make sense? As the old Pep Boys commercial said " just keep hitting it ".
