I had a similar story a few weeks back. I didn't read this thread first so I blocked the other 3 pistons with soft wood clamps and gently pressed on the brakes until the piston popped out. Checking its progress between pedal pushing. It actually didn't pop out violently at all. The dust boot held it in place and I was able to gently pull it out without fluid spraying all over the place. I had a bucket underneath the caliper to keep the mess to a minimum. Once the piston was out I clamped a rubber glove over the hole to keep the remaining fluid from leaking out. Here's what the piston looked like: And here's how I got it out. First drilled: Then tapped: Then backed it out with a fastener: Ewww, look how nasty: Cleaned out the bore: Then I put it all back together with high temp anti seize just in case. I also ran the abs pump with the durametric and bled the brakes a few times. Cheers, Matty
