The problem is once one side falls out, you no longer have a seal to pass the pressure to the opposing piston. So I had to make a tool to hold one piston on the cusp of the seal and provide space for the opposite one to push out.
I then had to blast a pressure washer jet through each port and through the caliper bridge to push all the grease out. Then the calipers soaked in hot degreaser to remove the remnants.
A bath in paint stripper is next.
After which the seals, boots, bleeders will be replaced and a coat of high temperature paint. |
... I liked this method as well.
This is a really good thread.
