Go to .99 CENTS Store and buy package of toothbrush sized wire brushes, use the brass bristled one with plenty of alcohol, brake cleaner or brake fluid and NOTHING ELSE .
Mostly the job entails elbow grease, patience and lots of lint free towels .

Finally got my pistons out of the calipers.(front) I had to go get help and it was a bear. I did not want to use grease. I tried to use my nozzle injector tester but I could not find a pipe adapter in my town. Ended up using solvent and air and hammer whacks. They are very gummed up. Now to figure how to clean them up. Parts are on the way. I figured I would learn something doing this the hard way. After seeing how gummed up these things are I am gonna do the rears even tho they are not worn out yet. I'm betting they could use to be cleaned up also. Front turned out to be ATE rears Bendix.Max
