Technical Reconditioning Uno turbo calipers

[bozothenutter]

me again.....

I have been looking over my calipers, decided they need a good going over and gotten myself two reconditioning kits.
But how do I remove the piston from the caliper, would compressed air work?

You could use compressed air to get the piston out a little, but then you'll need to unscrew it. "Simply" rotate it counterclockwise. There are special tools for that, but it can be done using larger mole grips or something similar.

edit: if it's the rear calipers, you don't even need to use compressed air, activating the handbrake mechanism could do.
