    Going Nuts cant free rear caliper...

    My 200x rear caliper is frozen. I dont have compressed air to pop it out is there any other way. Clymer's not helping me out much. I've never done this before, Any detailed steps will help me out big time. Its appreciated, Thanks Mudder Fu@#er.

    try saoking it in a penetrating oil (wd40 or something like it. i cna't think of the name of the other good one right now) and ii've never done this before, but i've worked on cars before so i think you could compress the pistion inwards with a C-clamp to free it up,a dn then hopefully work it back and forth to regain full motion. hope this helps.

    This works. Just did it a few days ago. Make sure you leave the old pad in there and use the c-clamp on that instead of the piston though. The pistons are somewhat fragile.
