A few months ago I read this post about removing a stuck piston. 125 lb of compressed air wouldn't budge it, so I cleaned out an old grease gun. Poured a couple ounces of brake fluid in after connecting the pressure hose to the caliper (no, the threads don't match, so don't force it past finger tight) squeezed the handle and eased the stubborn piston out of the 18 year old Girling.

Thanks, Rene, good idea!
