Had the same fight some time ago with my spitfire Calipers. I got the pistons out by mounting a grease nipple where the brake pipe is installed. I then pressed the pistons out with a grease gun. A bit messy with the grease but there's a lot of power in a greasegun.
We live & learn, I remember replacing seals on a TR7's front calipers back in the 80's and I can't for life of me remember such a hardship, maybe it was the norm back then :) Thanks for sharing Henry.

That's a great idea Ulrik, I hadn't thought of it. And I usually choose the messiest approach
Absolute genius (using the Focus) Henry. Take care.

With hindsight it is incredibly obvious but took me 2 days to get there.
Great video, I've got to do mine at some point. You have to love the power of hydraulics 👍
Thanks Andy, hydraulics are as amazing as electrolysis!
