[T3] Stubborn caliper piston


Morning, quick question...I'm in the middle of redoing the calipers for the Notch.
Passenger side-no problem. Driver side-BIG problem. The inboard piston is stuck and no
air pressure, prying, pleading, etc. will get it out. I've soaked it overnight with
penetrating oil, no go. It's in the oven right now roasting, hopefully the temp wil
loosen things up enough. AAR, does anyone have a tried and true method for un-sticking
such things when they absolutely, positively won't come out? AAnd for that matter, Jim
A., do you have any of the forementioned pistons available? I'm thinking I might have to
resort to drilling the little pendejo out (pardon my spanish).
