- I've found that a medium sized pair of Vice-Grip pliers work very well in
- compressing the piston. I have a pair with very wide jaws (not the regular
- pliers jaws). They look vaguely like the illustration below:

- ______/ \_
- |_____ _<-<-This is supposed to indicate the openning
- \___/ between the jaws.

- I know that that's a pretty poor excuse for vice-grips but I hope you get the
- idea. Like the person in the previous note mentioned, be careful not to
- compress the piston too far or you'll ruin the seals.
