    Hi Greg,

    I have had a couple of bad experiences with shifting pistons with air; Just use the master cylinder to pump it out with the brake fluid.

    There is no "pop", the piston will not fly across the shop, You will not get a shower of frothing brake fluid blown around by 150psi of air, and you will keep all of your fingers.......

    Only problem is the nasty nature of brake fluid; put the caliper in a pan, and be careful !

    If it ain't broke, modify it!

      Fascinating...the TCI is on line and fully functional captain.
      Bones, are the carbs synced?
      Damn it Jim, I'm a doctor not a MC tech!
      OK...Mr Sulu, ahead warp factor...
      (Sulu interrupts) sorry captain something is dragging us down in engineering.
      Kirk to engineering, Scotty...Scotty are you there? I need more pressure now!
      (Loud POP heard over the intercom and a frantic Scotty replies)
      Captain, brakes are free, but we've had a warp caliper breach, and fluid be every where!
      ...and the saga continues
