Thanks for the context Claude, it will help other readers understand why you took the approach that you did. It will be interesting to know the outcome when you have finished.
As an aside, did you receive the email I sent to you on Sunday?
In it I mentioned that if you take the calipers off the car, you might be able to get the pistons out without splitting the caliper by using compressed air. It's safer in terms of damaging the piston or the caliper bore, than trying to pry it out with a screwdriver. Although it's more fiddly replacing the seal in the caliper bore and putting the piston back in if you haven't split the caliper.
