Ken, John, Heck,

I used a couple of Model T springs, which are flat and about the size of the pad holder plus a large flat chisel [for a wedge] and, by putting the T springs up against the piston and driving the chisel in beside them, was finally able to move the piston back into its cylinder. It was very reluctant to move I have to add and it took me almost an hour of pounding and prying to get the cylinder flat with the side of the caliper.

I do have a Model T that I drive in the summer and I had an old spring cut in half to use as a tire iron. These worked well so I guess there is a point to owning the T!

I will now go out and see if I can get the rest of the brake together and then I will tackle the other one, forearmed with the knowledge you have imparted to me.

Bob
