Needed: A how to on Caliper disassembly

[mytquik]

What I am trying to work out is how to take out the pistons from the calipers. I am going to get them powder coated and I have to remove the pistons in order for the powder coater to do his thing.

I have used air from a blow gun,I forget if I put something between the pistons and the caliper so it doesn't come flying out hard.

So if I hook up the air hose to the hole where the brake line bolts on and start pumping air in there the piston will come out? Then basically just pull the piston out of there. What about the seals (black rubber boots) do you have to get new ones or can you reuse the old ones>?

Yes blow in the part where the line is supposed to be if i remember right they will come out with a good pop.

I would get a rebuild kit and put it back together with that.
