        A friend of mine tells me he never has a problem with this; he soaks
the caliper in oil overnight or for a day.

I know I have clamped the piston that moves easily with some wood and clamps
and then use air pressure to get the other piston to move.

I have not tried this on a caliper but I have had good results soaking parts
in ATF overnight; they easily come apart.

Hey,



I'm having some trouble getting the pistons out of the front brake calipers
(the car has been sitting for something like 25 years).  On each caliper I
was able to get one piston out using compressed air but I can't get the
other one to move.  Any ideas?



Thanks,

Joe Brown
