BRAKES 120-130

Ron,
Sorry for the late reponse...not sure if you'll ever check back on this one. My work has kept me off the computer. I thought about rigging up some type of hydralic system to unjam the stock piston, but I just didn't have the parts etc. What finally worked was...soaking with PB blaster, 150 lbs of air pressure, and a special tool used to grab the inside of the piston and rock it back and forth. I did insert blocks of wood to prevent the other pistons from blowing out. I received the parts from Swedish Treasures and they are exact replacements. I have decided not to split the calipers in half, as I think this would be asking for problems.
