Hello:
I have a stuck caliper piston on the Bendix front caliper on the 89 740. I have removed the caliper from the car, taken off the flexible line and then shot PBlaster into the inlet, the piston circumference and even into the bleed hole. I will let it sit till Monday, then use compressed air to try to free up the stuck piston. However, I plan to use MUCHO brake fluid during the bleeding process to remove the PBlaster. Will this work? What else can I do to free up the piston ?
Thanks,
el Raidman
