st_mok Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 hey guys hope you guys can help me i cant get my front brake caliper pistons off...... Quote
MaygZ Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 Compressed air? Hook them back up to the brake system and without pads or disc, put your foot on the brake. Watch fingers when doing either of the above or brake piston may break finger. (Just for Dimitri) Quote
dat2kman Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 But the piston that is moving, just place a pad, or bit of wood etc in there, to keep it inplace, while you get soeone to gently press brake pedal. If it off the car, cbf'd putting it back on, then use a hammer handle in the gap where pads and disc goes, then use compressed air with a trigger gun, work hammer back and forth trying to get each to move a bit at a time. Then multi grips, right on the edge, very carefull, rotate and pull. Quote
Doug.w Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 If off the car try using a grease gun . The thread on the gun is the same as the caliper and works even if the compressed air dose not . It dose make a mess . Quote
Scoota G Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 Pehaps you can have my old set, either of them! Quote
