Find a 3/8 - 24 grease fitting or make a threaded bushing to screw into the
3/8 fitting hole and reduce to a 1/4 - 28 to accept a zirc fitting. Use
your grease gun to build pressure to blow the pistons out. Be sure you
clamp the first one to break free with a good c-clamp so that you can apply
pressure to the other side untill it also breaks free. Much safer than
using compressed air, ( no stored energy).
