Got brakes? (LS400 front, TT rear)
Picked up all the calipers I will be using for my swap:
They look like they are in rough shape, but really they are just dirty. I started taking apart the LS400 fronts, and the pistons I managed to remove were all perfect, just dirty. Missing all the anti-squeal shims and clips, hopefully can get these at the dealer.
I want to disassemble all the calipers because I will be chrome plating it all. I used the instructions to blow out the caliper pistons using a compressor and a wooden block but all I manage to do is blow out one and the rest are stuck. Any other way?
Here are more pics:

tore down most of everything today:
I think I am missing the anti-squel shims and some of the clips for the LS400 fronts. Looks to be an expensive replacement.
The stuck piston looks a bit rough, but I think its all on the surface. Looks like the boot failed and **** was getting past it, hence why it was so diffcult to remove from the caliper:
Now.. I am really frustrated trying to take off these last two bolts. I tried impacts (broke 3 bits, and even heating up the caliper... but no luck... any suggestion?
