Hello, any advise on how to remove a stuck front brake caliper piston? I didn't want to force it out thinking I might damage something that isn't replaceable. Are all the parts available to replace if damaged?

Thanks

Remove from fork leg , remove pads
Leave it connected to the hose and pump it out with the brake master cylinder adding brake fluid if required.


simples!
