Amici,

I've been trying to resurrect a pair of girling brake calipers.  The 
vehicle had sat for about 5 years and now the pistons are froze in the 
bores.  I've managed to get one piston out but now have run out of ideas 
on how to remove the other one.  Same goes with the other caliper I'm 
sure I can get one out but not the other one.

I don't mind ruining the pistons if need be since they need to be 
replaced anyway.  

So what tips or tricks do you have for removing a single stuck piston 
from a caliper?

Thanks,

Brad
