Note: don't fuck with calipers. 
My 10 ton press read 11 tons pressing the piston back into one of these fuckers. Finally went bang and slammed in. Slides in and out nice, holds fluid.
No fuckin idea what happened.
Don't think I'll save the other one though. Can't get the piston out for love or money. 150psi through the air chuck, Nada. Trying to press it out, Nada.
Too bad too, if it was good the brake system would have just needed lines.
Edit:
And finally, I decided to drill out the bracketry for 9/16 hardware for the leafs. I'll have to make the shackles a fair bit prettier before they get final installed. But these lots of pissing around before then.
Pretty happy with the last few days on it. Once the steering is finally done there will be a light at the end of the tunnel.
Definitely think I've been held up by time moreso than money, which is a nice problem to have.
