    think you need an air compressor to get the piston out, I believe theres a write up on Brunos site...

    if you don't have an air compressor,you can remove the piston by pressing on the brakes.....gently and in small increments,with the pads removed of crs.a second person to monitor the piston travel helps.......this is thru my own experience...
