Hello all, The pistons in both rear calipers are stuck. I did my research in the brickboard archives. I soaked them in PB Blaster and removed the snap rings. The seals fell apart. I used compressed air but they did not budge. What else can I do short of explosives? When I do get them out, will I be able to reuse them? The car has sat for ten plus years. Thanks.
