The pistons will slide "smoothly" but not necessarily, "easily". You don't 
want them flopping around in the bores. NOTE: be careful if trying to relieve 
a "stuck" piston. There is a central pin smack dab in the middle of the 
housing that the piston rides on. You really dont wanna mess that up ! 

A good way of loosening a stuck piston is to modify an old bleeder screw ( 
drill down all the way through the center) and tap to take a grease-gun zerk. 
Pump it full, and watch the piston pop loose.

When you're done - be sure to install some "speedbleeders" they make life 
much easier for ya'
