disassembling type-44 rear calipers (Ameer Antar)

[Kneale Brownson]

If I recall correctly, that is just a slip fit.  Not pressed and not releasing because you're not putting sufficient pressure on it.  I THINK I worked one of those free by just alternating pressure from one side to the other with  a couple pry tools.

freeze plug. I sprayed some WD-40 in there and tried rocking the rod out of the
bore, but no luck. I even installed the seals and piston and used air pressure
hoping the pressure would force it out along with the piston. Unfortunately,
all it did was separate the piston from the inner threaded section that holds
the spring."

Response: I tried it as well a couple of months ago and go hung up on this same problem. Haven't found a solution. Would also be interested in a response from someone who has got past this point
