How do you get Brake Pistons out... (you can never find your shop manual when you need it)
Ok. SO I have a leaky front caliper... I got it off, now I want to get the pistons out, BUT (there is always a but). I can't seem to get them out.
I am new to this and the first time I need my shop manuals I can't find the dang things... (I have 2, You would think I could find them.) Any help would be great. Thanks.

Push each piston all the way down to the back of the caliper. (they are spring loaded) While holding down, slip a screwdriver tip under the outside of the rubber seal and pry up. The whole assembly should remove. If you are going to re-use outer seal, be gentle and make sure not to rip the rubber seal. :seeya

Woo hoo. Got them out. 1 just poped out with compressed air. (I was not expecting that, It was damn loud).. And I got the rest out with a screw driver. I probally should have been a bit more carefull, but concidering the brake already leaked, I think I didn't do to bad for a first timer. ;)
