4 pot front brake calipers
Okay, not really SV related.
What advice does anyone have for the easiest way to remove the pistons from a caliper that is not attached to the system? (old calipers are still attached to the system, new ones require overhaul) Some people recommend compressed air, though I only have a cannister which is just about strong enough to clean an air filter, and is in no way up to the job.  As you can guess, I'm trying to avoid swapping them over and bleeding the system, just to pump the pistons out and then take them off again, but if that is the only way, then so be it. They are GSXR-750 K2 4 pots. Thanks Luke

Easiest way would be just to blead the system and pump them all out a bit them pull them out, or if you can grip them without damaging the outer surface of the pistion then do it that way.

Well I've got a spare you can borrow unless the intention was to do it over the weekend. Alternatively just use the one on your bike and take the oportunity to improve your brake bleeding skills :P  Cheers Ben
