Some time ago one of you SOLers suggested using a grease gun to
force siezed wheel cylinders apart.  Well, I'm here to tell all what a
great technique that is!  Compressed air accomplished nothing.  I
tapped a grease fitting into a brake line, screwed it into the cylinder,
coupla strokes of the gun and Voila, out the piston came!  Since there
was no damage, the cylinder and piston will be cleaned up and reused.  Thanks
for the suggestion, someone!
