Subject: Re: Brake cylinder pistons seized; how to free?
Hi,
Remove cylinder from car,
Place cylinder in a bench vice with a socket or similar for a rod, close vice jaws forcing piston to move inwards,
Repeat with cylinder turned the other way,
Keep repeating until pistons are quite loose,
Tap out gently.
Front cyls are 1 1/4" dia and rears 1 1/8" you can by seal kits easily if the bore is not bad.

Past parts are a good bunch if not.

Regards,
Julian
