I just did this job and it is easier than you would think. I used all the "Pelican approved" hints: bike pump, c-clamp, baby food lid, etc. I used the bike pump method since I do not have a compressor and it worked perfect. I placed a hockey puck between the pistons and pumped air through the line and on one caliper both came out a hitch. Once they hit the puck I used a smaller piece of wood for till they popped. Drivers side was a little more sticky so c-locks were needed.

I used a plastic pencil to removet the inner seal and cleaned with alcohol, brake cleaner and wet sanded away grime and a few pock marks with 2000 grit. Once cleaned all went back in perfect.

Oh, forgot to mention the home made 20 degree guide form the $1.00 Walmart protractor!

Good luck!
