I split the calipers as many people do, and then wiggled the piston back and
forth with a pipe
wrench. After that I put a woodworkers pipe clamp with a 2' pipe on it and
wiggled them back and
forth again until they came out. The pistons will be damaged in the process.
Replace with stainless
or anodized pistons
