Right i have the back brake off my bike and got the piston that was stuck all the way out, which leaves the one that had free play on it in the piston chamber, i know that it will come out and not siezed, but short of putting the other piston back in and connecting to the brake system i don't know how to get it out, its right in the chamber i have thought about compressed air but can't get a good seal from the pump to the brake line hose bolt connector.
Any ideas would be most appriciated! Thumbs Up

Cheers
WN

I've shifted 'free' pistons using a footpump via the bleed nipple (just cracked open) and just blocking the banjo bolt hole with my thumb. You have to pump like a dervish to keep the pressure up, easier with two pairs of hands.

I clamp the caliper half in the vice with soft jaws and this helps block any oilway through the caliper body
