I don't know why you guys are wasting your time with C clamps.
I just use a Ben T steel rod and leverage it against the steel backing plate
of the friction material and it pushes the plunger back before I remove the
locking pins.
Sorry I forgot about SuperStan. But Stanthule, some of us are frail
weaklings. It's much easier for me to use tools to compress the piston. Your method
might work for some people. But for most, the C-Clamp or piston compressor
shouold work for most.
