Caliper Piston Removal:
Insert an air compressor chuck nozzle into the hole on the
inside of one of the caliper body halves. Hold the caliper in
one hand and point the caliper piston in a safe direction.
Inboard caliper half only - Hold one finger covered
by at least two rags over the hose connection port on
the top of the caliper body so air does not escape.
Squeeze the air chuck and force air into the hole.
The compressed air will unseat the piston from the
caliper. Remove the piston from the caliper.
WARNING:
Point the caliper in a safe direction. Cover the piston with two
rags to prevent the piston from causing injury or becoming
lost. Repeat this process for the other caliper body half.
