Operation: Correct technique for compressing the piston when disassembling brakes

In this video we can see how to properly compress the rear brake piston if we have to disassemble it ourselves. The piston is held together by only two bolts, which shows us how delicate the system is. We must avoid twisting the system during disassembly; the best thing to do is to use a screwdriver to lever it out without twisting it, and to hold it steady with a common vise while pushing it inside the brake pad. It is not necessary to apply a lot of pressure; we just need to keep it steady while levering. This way we will remove it safely and then we can easily remove the brake pads.
