This is an excellent way to get the stuck piston out.
However, the piston will come out hard, much as if it was fired out of a
rifle. Because of this, be very careful where the cylinder is pointed.
If there is any brake fluid left inside, it will also spray out all
over the place. Brake fluid is an extremely nasty thing to get in one's
eyes. I would *highly* suggest wearing safety goggles when attempting such a
procedure. (Actually, it would be wise to wear them whenever working on a
car's brake system, even for such routine tasks as bleeding the brakes.)
Preferably, such goggles should be of the "chemical splash" type.
