BDI:
The easiest way to get them out is with air.YOU HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFULL DOING THIS YOU WILL BLOW THE PISTONS CLEAR ACROSS THE GARAGE AND SCREW THEM UP AND POSIBLY HURT YOURSELF. Use low A/P, hold the caliper in a heavy waded up rag and blow the pistons out by blowing air into the banjo bolt hole. I if you are carefull this is a very easy way to get them out but if you are reckless this is a very easy way to screw them up and hurt yourself.

turtle22:
what about putting them back in?

martinfan30:
Just lube the new seals with new fluid and push the pistons back in. Be sure to push them in straight! You could damage the seal.

sweet, im going in tonight.i'll let u know how it turns out. we r riding carnegie ohv on friday. for all that dont know thats the sickest place to ride around here for hills. go to youtube and watch some of the hill climbing. and sence what goes up,must come down(sometimes on crazy rutted trails) stopping or slowing will be super importand(at less to me :-P )

turtle22:
when i bleed the brakes,should i do it like a car. fill resavior with fluid,open bleeder wait for it to drip. close bleeder,pump brake,hold brakes,open valve(releasing the air)close valve. and repeat untill the air is out.
