Caliper Piston Removal

out of the Caliper bore.
4. Remove caliper piston with short bursts of compressed air. Apply air pressure through fluid inlet port of caliper.
CAUTION: Do not blow the piston out of the bore with sustained air pressure. This could result in a cracked piston. Use only enough air
pressure to ease the piston out.
WARNING: Never attempt to catch the piston as it leaves the bore. This may result in personal injury.
