    I usually just block the hole where the brake line goes in and put the air blower in the bleeder hole. Usually blows one piston straight out and moves the other enough to get it out too. I have some brand new piston seals. Mmm not sure they will fit the prillia. They for the rgv. Different brand brakes.

    Grease gun works well for getting the piston out too Kiffsta if you don't have air. Same as with a compressor; block the brake line hole with a bolt and inject grease through the bleed nipple. A lot messier though.

    I use the brakes hydraulics. So for twin piston unbolt the calliper and leave one pad in then pump the lever. Worked when a grease gun or air compressor wouldn't budge a piston.

    well I can vouch for them, my new piston pliers arrived today and they came straight out with no damage, stoked.

    Just need my HEL brake line to arrive and replace those caliper bolts.

    Mate that must be very frustrating. Such a small thing holding you back. It must be the master cylinder you think? I'm not sure if I recall if you just ran a kit through it or completely replaced it but sometimes the bore can be damaged and doesn't seal. Have you tried pumping it up with the bleed screw closed then cracking the bleed screw in the caliper just to see if there is any pressure at all building up?

    well, I have a brand new master cylinder, new brake line, new cylinder, when I bleed it, it keeps putting mushy bubbles out of the nipple, I rarely seem to get a clear stream of fluid coming out of the nipple. I have a screw driver between the pads keeping the pistons in the caliper, Aprilia recommend removing the caliper from the bike and have it above the brake cylinder with the brake line straight with no bends for air to get trapped. Im bleeding it the old fashioned way, pump the pedal a heap of times, then release the nipple, secure the nipple, pump the pedal etc, I also have a brake bleeder hooked up to my compressor, same thing

    Honest to god, its been months trying to sort this, I have all new parts, arrgghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
