^^ that. Also, my hands are nowhere near strong enough to create that much force. I had tried just pushing it out with the lever, the other problem is that once you have one piston out you then have another piston still stuck and fluid all over the caliper.
Better to create an air gun and cover the caliper with a towel as I did for the other 3 pistons.

The body would not violently reject it at all though. They might get a tummy ache, though, if they ate too much tasty, tasty burger.
My experience says that it is violent. And seriously painful when you're empty yet still retching. So even after a week of being unable to ingest anything but a tiny amount of water and you stop trying to throw up you're really weak due to the lack of food.
This is why I want to disembowel anyone who tries to persuade people to eat meat.

This is why pressure tests and component separation should be done with incompressible fluids. You basically made an air gun with a random trigger. Anybody else trying to remove stuck pistons, force water or oil into the cylinder, not gas!
I see your point. How would I go about putting that much force in with fluid though without getting specialist tools?

Not sure about Avid brakes, but all brakes are pretty similar. I had to excavate all 4 pistons from a set of Hayes brakes I had, it involved a lot of swearing but I got there in the end. I took the caliper apart so that I was just working on one piston at a time, attached the track pump to force the piston out, I reached 175psi before it let go, cue piston flying past my head, bouncing off the wall behind me and landing at my feet.
TL:DR - It can be a lot of dicking about. If you don't enjoy dicking about your lbs may be better suited. Or put them back on the bay

And I guess ther isn't any proper way ot meding wood that's split? Is there's. it's only a small split, but it's dangerously close to the edge and I am getting a little worried it might just get torn etc.
I've had to fix a split doorframe in the past. I don't know what tools you have, doesn't sound like you have many.
What I did - architrave off, bang loads of waterproof glue into the split (mine was the bathroom frame) pilot drilled (3mm) 2/3rds the depth of the screw in from the side of the frame, countersink the head so you can hide it, put two screws in, wipe away excess glue.

Does it ever?
