I'd much rather deal with the grease than more brake fluid.
+1 on that! :orange

In this order, caliper in a coffee can and pump it out with the M/C. if there are twin pistons, use a c clamp on the slower one. air won't work at this point so grease gun next.

Shouldn't that be "use a c clamp on the faster one"? You need to make sure it doesn't pop out before the slow one moves too far...

BTW: I read somewhere about using internal pipe wrenches to remove (or at least loosen) caliper pistons. I bought a set but they are really too small; I did try it once (I had to jam something in beside the biggest one in my set) and itworked but the grease gun works better for me.

Yup, you got me there, it should read faster or first one.
