Ok on my tecates it seems that 6 out of the 9 I have are frozen up. I can not move the piston at all so what in the world do I soak these in or waht to get the pistons out? Also after I get them out what would you suggest using to clean up the pistons? Some emery cloth? Any help would be fantastic. Thanks

Bring them down here Cody. I will get them out, you can clean them up, then we will put them back in and test them. ;)

Howdy, I could probably swing that. I will get ahold of you once I get the rebuild kits for them. We'll have them apart so I might aswell fix everything huh? Oh and I fixed that shift pawl stopper deal on my 90 the other weekend. All I need now is the topend gaskets and I'm set. In the mean time I will soak the calipers in kerosene so it will possibly make life easier for us down the road howdy.
