Hi,

Not been around here for a while.  

I'm reconditioning the rear callipers on my 147 and I've hit a small
problem.  I can't remove the main piston seals, I've managed to tear
one and I don't want to touch the other until I've more of a clue what
I'm doing.  I think I need to move the piston out a bit more but it's
too stiff to move by hand.  I've tried to pull the handbrake linkage
to move the piston but all this achieves is spurting brake fluid over
the place.

So does anyone have any tips on what I can try next?  

Thanks a lot.  

Cheers,

Robin
