[QUOTE="Clarkson46, post: 66837, member: 3597"] Firstly you should never split a caliper. Reassemble the caliper and hope it reseals. Then using an airline (a footpump will do) apply air pressure to where the brake pipe went with the bleed nipples closed and the pistons will push out. Put something like a g clamp around each piston so that it cannot come all the way out then you should have enough of the piston available to pull it the rest of the way. Above all, don't get you fingers between the pistons when you apply the air as it hurts like hell when you stop 2 pistons with your fingers. :mrgreen: [/QUOTE]
