Subject: [Healeys] Front caliper rebuilds

From: Don Day via Healeys <[email-masked]>

I’m working on my 65 BJ-8 front calipers . Car has sat for 10 to 15 years . I’m rebuilding the calipers and I can only get one of the calipers pistons to come out. After removing the caliper I’ve applied air pressure to the inlet and I was only able to free up the outside piston . What can be done to free up the inboard piston ? 
    Any suggestions would be appreciated. 
            Thanks , Don

Don,

I have used a small grease gun to remove stuck pistons.  I remove the 
Zerk coupler and screw the tube into the caliper's brake line hole.  Use 
a C clamp to hold the freed piston in place.

Cheers,

Another trick is put the piston that did come out back in, place a heavy
bar in the disc slot to prevent the loose piston from coming out then apply
air pressure.  That ensures that the reluctant piston receives full
pressure.
The tool in the pic attached is stage 2 if that doesn't work ... grease gun=
.

As far as I can tell, there is nothing wrong on the server end. I am 
getting the full emails just fine.
