I was annoyed that a few of my Cayman's front brake pistons had the little pucks from the anti-vibration pads seized in them. I was ready to just order new pistons when I figured I'd try to pull them out. They were very seized.
Soaked with penetrating oil. WD40 may not be the best, but it's all I had on hand. I filled the whole piston up and let it soak.
A socket and bolt and some washers.
It's coming.
A little more.
And it's out. I was surprised these things are heavier duty than I was expecting. I thought they might just just strip out the threads, but they are very strong.
Now two more to go and put everything back together.

I just reused the original seals when I reinstalled the pistons. I didn't remove the pressure seals out of the calipers, and the dust seals came out without damage. If it was a track car I definetly would have replaced them, but I saw no need for this car.
And no, I'm not using those vibration pads any longer. If I ever do, I'll smear them with anitseize.
