Now if you'd like to re-use the pistons, but can't get one or more to budge.
E-booger once suggested drilling a hole in the caliper body behind the piston(s) then knocking the pistons out with a punch.
He then tapped threads in the hole and sealed with a pipe plug.
Boy oh boy, there sure seems to have been a lot of F*@^+D up methods in getting old, stuck, rusted, pistons, out of their caliper bores.
You don't have to drill holes, in the back of caliper bodies, drill holes in bottom of pistons, just pump them out hydraulically with a grease gun, putting a zerk fitting in one of the hard line threaded holes, and blocking the other hole off with a fine thread bolt.
Look at my previous postings for special tools that were used when they were available back in the dinosaur days, or use your noggin without having to drill holes, or F up a caliper.
