Pack her full of grease and keep threading a bolt in the banjo bolt hole... It will come out.

How do you remove a piston from a caliper?

I've no doubt that it would. PITA packing it with grease though. I'll give the other ideas involving pushing the piston back in and trying compressed air 1st. I'll let everyone know what the results are.

I usually soak them heavily in WD40 and than use a shop rag and vise-grip and slowly pivot back and forth while held in a bench vice.
Be careful with the compressed air method 'cos when it goes it'll take your head off!
Absolutely will and I really appreciate the warning/advice. My plan was to wrap the caliper half tighly in a rag to prevent such an event. Thanks man.
BTW, love your signature. I'm a big fan of Buckaroo. I bet I've seen that movie a dozen times and enjoyed it just as much as the 1st time every time.

Ha, same here - never gets old. Lithgow cracks me up.
Yeah. Impressive and diverse cast including the badass that played the bad guy in the 1st Highlander and Billy Vera, an excellent musician who I've been lucky enough to hear in concert and talk afterwards with. Outa curiosity, have you seen Galaxy Quest? Another classic that didn't get the recognition it deserved.
To all others: I realize I have gotten off the main subject. Check out these 2 flicks and, all things considered, you'll agree that its okay.
