Subject: Re: Brake caliper piston ANATOMY?
....
I've used air in the past, but have found
that fluid pressure is MUCH more controllable (jerry-rig the caliper
up to a master cylinder; pump the master and pop the piston. Messy!
Yech, don't do that....
But with air, you 'shoot' the piston with sometimes nasty results!)
Wrap the assembly up completely but loosely in a towel before you
gradually apply the air. No muss, no fuss, just "pop". Have fun...
