hi,

in my on-going saga of front end rebuilding i picked up
a disk brake refurb kit including new pistons. my question
is HOW DO YOU REMOVE THE OLD POSTONS? these suckers just
don't want to budge and i am fearfull of applying too much
force and busting somthing.

are these things supposed to easy to take out?  if so, i
wonder if something is really wrong with the caliper?

i love the manual... "Step 42: Remove the piston. Step 43: ..."
it seems that it's never that easy...

any insight will be appreciated.

thanks,
kbt
