Danturbo4311 Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 The pistons can sometimes be hard to get out, easiest way to remove them is to remove the brake line & put an air line with adapator in the hole & blow it out (but put a bit of wood in front of the piston so that it doesnt fly off & injure/damage somone or something). As said makesure you clean it up good & check the bore which the piston sits in for scratches etc. Yes you will need to bleed the brakes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
