Piston Disassembly Note

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Mazda MPV. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

CAUTION:

Blow the compressed air slowly to prevent the piston from suddenly popping out.

Place the SST in the caliper, then blow compressed air through the hole to force the piston out of the caliper.
