Hey guys:
I'm trying to get the pistons out of the front calipers.
It looks like they're seized, but they're not too bad looking.
I cannot move them by hand. I've sprayed tham with Liquid Wrench to try and loosen them up.
I've used the trick to blast compressed air to remove one of them in the past, but I was wondering if you guys had any other ideas.
I was thinking of just grabbing the very tops with a pliers and trying to twist and pull them out, but that didn't seem like the best idea. I do have the rebuild kits on order.
Any ideas are appreciated.
