We use a lever type grease gun to remove stuck pistons as Dave says - they put out 10,000psi...no way you'll get that with air pressure,or by using the systems own hydraulic force.

[QUOTE=F5 Dave]Another way a friend used on my stuck brakes many years ago was; he had a grease gun with the right fitting & just pumped them full of grease & kept pumping.
Holey crap batman.--a petroleum based product near the brake lines--arggg scarey

Well obviously the brake lines are removed to fit the greasegun & once the pistons are popped out then the whole calliper has to be totally cleaned.
It is a last resort messy proceedure & that's why I use air (carefully) if I can't just pump them out with the system.
