of your calipers

Pump them against something so they are a mm from popping, remove the something, remove the pistons.

This may be tricky if you have already removed one.

Answer: With more brute force

via Standing on the caliper and 2 hands on the pliers.
Was using 3 dust seals round the piston to protect it as I'm replacing them anyway - only damaged the last couple of mm of the piston - should be reet

Yeah I thought I did that - obviously not pumped them out enough. especially the first ones to pump out as I thought they would be easy

looks good - but for the number of times I would use it

and by they time you realise you want it - it's too late.
But thanks anyway

When youve done yours can you come here and show me what you did! Mine need doing but scared to touch them cos there either done right or there dangerous!!

I think it was xXBadgerXx posted a good tip the other day. Put a few cable ties tight around the protruding piston, then you can grip them with mole grips / stilsons without damaging them. Then twist and ease out...

Yeah I saw that & tried it. the ziptie came off too easily for me but it gave me the idea of using the seals.

Pop the other piston/s back in & lock them there.
Reattach line & use lever to pop sticky one out.
