if you cant get the pistons out on a brake caliper. what have done for years as it is something you almost deal with daily as a motorcycle mechanic in NZ is unscrew the tip of your grease gun and wind the caliper on to it. and pump them out. and just chock them up so you get them almost all the way out on a multi piston caliper. even easier on a single piston caliper. takes five secs and grease is cheap and no damage to the pistons.

Fronts were all good, the rear more of a problem, still sticking a bit so thinking I need to pull apart. It’s on the to do list with new exhaust gaskets :-s.
