@h8ryj I believe it . I rebuilt my caliper today. The piston was stuck, so I too blasted it with compressed air @120 psi. Didn't budge. I had to wiggle it around and then try the compressed air again to remove it. It finally came out. FYI using 120 psi to remove a 2 inch piston will impart about 420 lbs of force. 420 lbs !!!
OUCH! Save your piston from damage by using a small board (like femfeather mentioned) where the piston will smack up against. I use a work glove or rag myself (whatever I can reach the easiest (lazy bastard that I am).
If you end up denting the edge of the piston when it hits like that it will in turn damage the cylinder.
where can i get one of those???

The first time i ever did that, the piston shot around 15metres and narrowly missed a window of a customers car!
