After decades of storage, I am trying to get my MKII back on the road. I removed the calipers, and have been able to free all but one of the pistons. Since I am having so much trouble, I am considering sending them off to be rebuilt. Any recommendations on trusted rebuilders?

    A friend of mine use to soak the caliper in a bucket of motor oil =
for a
week and never had a problem getting the pistons out.
=20
I have always used a little air pressure to pop caliper pistons out - =
just
be careful the piston will move with force when it comes out.
=20
I would suggest filling the stuck piston cavity with ATF or Marvel =
Mystery
oil and let it soak for 24 hrs; piston should move then.
Drain the oil out if you use air pressure and cover with rags because =
some
oil will fly out when the piston moves.
