Subject: IML: FROZEN BUDD CALIPERS
> Hello everyone,

> One Budd caliper is off the mighty '69 and the
> pistons are frozen. One is still on the car and a
> good bet to be frozen as well. The one off the car
> unscrewd into two halves no problem, cut off boots &
> soaked in parts dip 24 hours, soaked in rust remover
> (Evapo-rust) another 24. Tapped every which way,
> pistons still stuck. Has anyone any ideas how to free
> these things up?
