Grease Gun to the Rescue
I finally got the piston and the old brake pad out of the caliper last night with the help of a grease gun. I got the idea from a post on a forum somewhere and thought I’d give it try before taking more drastic measures. I took the tip off of the grease gun hose and the threads fit (sort of) into the caliper. A few minutes later the pad and piston started to emerge.
