[QUOTE="03' White Snake, post: 15260040, member: 51916"] Just like posted above, I used a 1" thick piece of pine board, wrapped it in a towel. Use air compressor into banjo bolt hole. You will hear a loud "pop". Remove board, see if piston will come out by hand now. Use very light air pressure again if needed. Remove rubber seal with a small pick, lube up new seal with fresh brake fluid. Lube up boot, start the boot on the piston and in the caliper. Turn the boot to make sure its seated right in caliper, it only goes inbone way. When you slide piston in, the boot will seat itself. Make sure you turn the piston while pushing it in or you can damage it. As long as you dont mess with the e-brake assembly in the caliper, you will be fine. That was a PITA when I had my calipers powder coated. [/QUOTE]
