I tried air gun in flair fitting hole, pistons did not move, what is my next step? Pull the seals and get pliers on the lip?
Do I need to split the halves to rebuild these?
NO - NO - NO !!!
NO PLIERS!
Do not split them!
Guys who do this all the time have a bench-mounted MC and a hand lever to use hydraulic pressure.
Interestingly - the threads on a grease gun are (or mate happily with) the 10mm x 1,0 thread pitch for the brake fitting. So - get a tube of whatever grease is on sale at the FLAPS today and GENTLY use the grease gun pressure to squeeze the pistons out.
Yeah - you need to clean all the grease out. You were going to clean them up squeeky-clean anyway, yes ?
