      @@auk7150 Well, the object of this video is to not put your hand on the piston & blow it out with air. But if you are going to use air, you want the piston to come completely out, or I do, it is all to speed up the dissemble of the caliper. Sure, put a towel over it. Safest thing is to get reman calipers, so you don't dissemble them. It is ok for a doit yourselfer, but for a garage, it makes more sense to replace them, & rotors.

      I did a 5 year engineering Apprenticeship. Safety Pictures.
      I was shown a young man with long hair, it got trapped in a lathe and ripped his scalp off.
      Milling machines were the most dangerous, because sometimes you had to work with the guard off, people lost fingers and hands. The Foundry roof had water seeping through, in heavy rain, it went into the molten metal and exploded. 2 men fell in the hot molten metal, "nothing left"!
      Always double check, equipment is set up Safety. Sometimes we needed 2 people working together? So someone could get to the Emergency Off Switch.

    I haven't rebuilt a caliper in years, but I always used a brake pad turned it with the pad towards the piston. That way it wouldn't scar the piston. Never used that much air pressure either. Nowadays I just replace them because the aren't too expensive and you can get a lifetime warranty.

    Piece of 2x4 6 inch long with the end rounded off. It’s the perfect buffer for brake pistons.
    Alternatively, use a bicycle tyre stirrup pump with a beach ball adapter. You will easily shift a stuck piston without blasting it out.
    Another way is to cut off the brake hose and use a football spike into the cut hose. You might need to make a clamp to grip the spike. It works, costs nothing and is always there for next time.
