[TR] Caliper Piston Removal

[geo b free]

another way to sometimes get the piston out.... duct tape :) blocks of wood 
to the face where the pistons are located not blocking the pistons. then 
smack the wood on the concrete floor. the wood stops the caliper from being 
harmed and the piston moves out
