brake piston puller
Got a piston that wont come out to rebuild on my rear brake. Anyone got plans for a simple puller. I can figure it out but maybe someone knows already and will save me some time.

Maybe this will help ... I use to run into this in the car repair business ... a lot of times I could use air pressure from a blow gun to dis-lodge the piston. Be careful to place rags in the area where the piston will come out so that you don't damage it and place the blow gun in the fluid inlet port and give it a blast .... hope this helps.

I usually use these, but I have never had one that was really froze in place.

appreciate the responses but the reason I asked for puller plans is because I don't have a compressor. I'll make one out of a piece of flat stock and a few long bolts.

Bring it over. I have air. I am just in Ocala. I just finished rebuilding my brakes.
