Folks, I have done my rear cylinders and they were a bit suck but I got
them out. The front ones due to the larger circumference are a bit
harder.  Any tips on how to get them out. I have tried the pressure
method on the brake line. I believe that it is only around the edge
where the old fluid had hardened. Is soaking this the best way?
I would prefer not to tap them in as then I'll loose the edge to grip to
pull them out.
Currently the calipers are off the car, pads out, dust covers removed,
etc.
