Sitting in the truck, in the driveway, waiting for a break in the storm to go inside. The wind was rocking the truck.

I was in the mall when the storm hit. We were just about to leave and decided to wait it out. Power went off at the mall and the backup only does common area lighting. I'd never though about it but it makes sense.

My nephew is up at his family cottage near Bancroft and has 15 trees down across the driveway and no power so his day is clearing the driveway before coming home. He plans to boat over and check my wife's family cottage, see if it is still standing. Friends on the lake had a large tree go through their roof, might be terminal to their cottage.

My brother in Port Perry lost his two week old covered boat ramp, dock broken up into kindling plus the real bastard, large tree on the roof. Hydro says no power till at least Monday pm or Tuesday am.

How did you get to #2?

I find a rattler in the basement and I’m moving out.

So took apart a set of used rear calipers. Pretty easy.

Brembos however not as easy. I used an air compressor to pop the pistons out but only the larger ones came out. Can’t seem to get the smaller ones out.

Don’t want to damage the pistons trying pull them out.

easiest to get out if you start with assembled caliper, secure three pistons with c clamps or similar, rag over top of remaining one, using compressed air, blow in the inlet until piston pops out. Remove inner seal ring and push back in and secure with a clamp you've removed from one of the other three, repeat until empty.

I actually did do it first when assembled. I actually just did what you were suggesting before reading it lol. I put the larger piston back in but not fully so I can pull it out by hand and then put a c clamp over it so it doesn’t shoot out. Worked perfectly. Of course I put some dents in my bench as I had them facing down. Don’t want a piston hitting my head.
