Wrap with a towel & use an air hose normally gets it out.... If that doesn't work use a grease gun. If that doesn't work, fill with water & stick it in the freezer....

Done the airhose bit and I have a small hydraulic hand pump, Ideal for working on those siezed in pistons...... the freezer bit and the grease gun does that really work ??
I was just curious if any body has used these pliers/grips , I,ll get a pair anyway and drop'em in me tools box.

Grease guns normally go to 500psi & some go to 4500psi. Problem with air pressure is the piston shoots out sometimes never to be found ( hence the towel.)
Ice will move mountains but may need to thaw/refill/refreeze to get full extraction. On my advice, my friend used this to remove an impossible master cylinder to good effect...
