HMMWV REV truck brakes

Would that bolt method try to push the pistons back in at an angle? Since it is off to one side.

The piston wells are deep and the pistons fit is extremely tight. It is already about 30% seated and I think any angular force would be negligible, and the same situation applies at the piston extraction which I also pulled it out holding it from one side and it came straight out. The sidewalIs show zero signs of stress even after shearing the GR8 bolts, I am not worried about it,

Thanks for the 1/4" bolt tip. I just did one in a couple minutes. it was smooth.

Of course, you guys helped me out so much, I am glad to be able to add even 0.1% to the conversation

I'm trying to rebuild my 2009 REV B1 Wilwood calipers. L/R totally locked up wouldn't retrack sm my Left rear wheel wouldn't spin. Managed to get the retention pin out (corroded) and tap the pads free (lost of grime and grit on the backing plates, then removed the corroded bolts and the brake line. Got it out, the rubber seals are shot but the pistons look ok. How do I remove tge piston from the caliper and where can I get the rubber seals for the pistons?

Does Wilwood rebuild them?

Thanks
