Hmmm, maybe I will try the WD-40. We used brake part cleaner on the pins and spring plates. It got rid of all the black crud. We didn't think to try anything on the pistons.
I'll be swinging past a Home Depot today to see if they have those C-clamp pliers.
Thanks for the tips!

If WD40 doesnt work, try PB Blaster. Its an excellent rust penetrator.

Well, now I have to go to work. :evil:
I'm gonna try the rust-penetrating trick when I get back on Tuesday. I'll let you know if it worked. Thanks again for the tips.
