580C brake wheel cylinder

jw3 ยท 2013-06-20 08:25

Any tricks to removing the piston from the wheel cylinder? I have tried compressed air, I have even let the thing soak overnight with PB Blaster luging from both sides. It may be a lost cause, but any tricks would be appreciated.

    Screw it. I'm replacing the slave cylinder

    You could hook a grease gun to it. But if it is stuck due to rust or corrosion it is not worth trying to reuse.

    I don't know why it was stuck, but all I can tell y'all is the new one is in place and I have brakes again. All is well
